" Victorious started out what's all this equipment here for won't stuff would just turn on the negative air filtration system. The purpose of this machine is taping here from the inside environment there were like guys are working drug to a giant filters in exhaust cleaner to the outside environment. There's always filters so no noxious fumes are actually being thrown out doors know that we get fumes and also won't be any any particles running. And he doesn't remove it from inside -- OK and then what about the vacuum cleaners. This vacuum here has put the exact same filters is inside here this will be used to drawing. And -- that bribery or any dust from inside there. Filtering it. And story inside -- always you're using a palm Sander is such a tool that product of that process would go into the drawing right into that -- exactly. Or -- any debris that hits the ground and dries out yet that will be filtered them stuck to the holes in filters that back okay with the Orangemen. Charges of what that's what you'll see when you walk inside will be taken telephone watches a lot of water in the chemical itself has. Nokia is now one question what do you do with the hazardous waste that caught in there. What will we take these machines back into the environment in the -- there. We'll take all the debris out of the bag to six moment of bags rabbit toys ducts have been up good grade outside. -- put into hasn't. Though it hasn't go to a hazardous waste -- exactly doesn't get to fidelity growth. And so we're in the dining room and we divided the room and half with this polyethylene walls. And all the real work is going over there on the mantelpiece and on the -- let's take a look at."

" OK so what exactly. Is going on here right so you've got all sorts of paper on the on the woodwork. Describe the process -- what did its own for us right now and so we apply it caustic faced ought to the tape surfaces. Going to be taking paper. Covering it sitting in tightly with duct tape to keep any air from getting inside trying out this Wallace C ultimately though the caustic soda is is. Held within this this mixture which almost looks like a joint compound exactly. And why you have to covered up with paper inducted. Can have some dry -- when that dries to this very hot very difficult to work -- How long did you have to leave it on there. While we did a time -- average on this is what we did test touch was found the 24 hours since the perfect in my time. For the talent for the work in them not -- effectively and although that's what I was gonna get active if you leave the chemical on wait too long you can really raises the grain. Ought to be very bad for the what little drizzle takes the moisture rather what else at the south -- with the oils and there really -- We'll what we'll start looking like felt -- yeah. Okay so it that you literally have to slather on pretty thick -- we like to go to a quarter and affix. It degenerates feel generous with a what we've done what was was covered. All the chemical. With paper tape in -- to keep air from getting into it. And now within 24 I was ready to peel away. OK so it tested tested beyond -- for about 24 hour. Yup for the world. -- So this -- layer comes. First. And what do you suppose all the brown. Represents I don't think there was any ground being done there no I think that was a varnish. Virus that was on one point oh it draws the varnish and this -- out as well exactly. Italy right through your thing right to a large. That it. So how many layers of paint you suppose you're coming up there."

" So at least fifteen mile and a very good memory is the result was all good quality paints also. After all the full chemical as rules -- washing it down with a solution. Fill in neutralizing solution which will move all the factual stuff for fear wash it down into wood -- and working vacuum up with a wet vacuum. -- Flynn but this is a very important part of process that you want to stop the caustic action on the woods are actually this isn't done correctly. Within it goes to put his paper thought it would still writing."

" Exactly. So this is really important and it's also important to contain all these chemicals we've got his grip fan in the middle of it and I guess you can start up where that -- what that. And collected all of this starts to add but boy I tell you the payoff is when you look at this -- day -- two after -- thin strips. And we're just doing a little bit of sanding worked good but look at this beautiful detailed mental. That it has really done a very good job with it gorgeous that's poplar wood and it probably was always painted. And the egg and dart along the -- hold a little bit of residue but that's all right."

Sanding Block Pads
Sanding Block Pads

Here's how to streamline a job that requires a lot of hand-sawing. First cut a block of scrap wood to accommodate about a third of a sheet of sandpaper. Then recycle a supermarket plastic foam tray and cut a piece the size of the block. Glue these together and wrap the sandpaper around them. You'll get a smoother surface and your sandpaper will last longer.

Sanding Wood Floors
Sanding Wood Floors

In the sunroom, Howard Brickman is at work sanding the floors. Starting with a drum sander, he begins by sanding the floor at a 20-degree angle to get the surface flat and smooth. Next, he runs the sander with the grain to maintain an even finish. Brickman stresses the importance of using the proper sequence with the abrasives. For this particular floor he will use 2 different grits, although it is not unusual to use 3 or more. After finishing with the drum sander, Howard uses an edger/spinner to get in close to walls. The key to using the edger is to practice smooth, elliptical motions to keep the surface even.

Finishing Sander
Finishing Sander

The purpose of a finshing sander is not to shape wood but to get it ready for a final smooth finish. Let the sander come to full speed, then set it on your work suface. Exert gentle pressure and sand in the direction or the grain. Keep the sander flush to the surface to avoid unduatoins. Make the final pass by hand in the direction of the grain.

Belt Sander
Belt Sander

A portable belt sander will go just about anywhere an extension cord can reach. For best results, secure your work in place. Use both hands. Start the machine off the surface of your work. At full speed, touch down with the rear of the belt first. Always sand with the grain and don't apply pressure. Let the machine do the work.
