Stargate deconversion - Is sanding supposed to be this difficult?
So I'm trying to take this Stargate down to bare wood. Got everything stripped out and ready to go.
I tried using 60grit on this little hand sander and I get nowhere. I even pulled out the belt sander with 80grit gator paper to no avail. I was scared to use the belt after reading people eating through cabs. But I can barely eat through the paint so I'm not scared of belt sanders anymore.
This is as far as I got after half an hour. Is it supposed to take this long or should I try out a chemical stripper first?
