Once you get a peice back to the workshop it is usually very dirty with years of grime. If I am going to be repainting a piece then I like mix some water and bleach in a bucket and wash it down. Let it sit for a minute then lightly spray it down with hose and it amazing the dirty grime and water that comes off of a piece. Then I let it air dry and it with the sander and sometimes repeat the process. I do this process also when it painted. |
