Electric Sanders??
As I now seem destined to be doing some fibre glassing and filling in the near future, is there any mileage in buying a sander? If so does anyone
have any recommendations as to type and make?
Thanks

Fellas,
Be EXTREMELY careful when cutting grp with any type of abrasive tool. (ie one that doesn't use teeth to cut.) The dust is deadly, and the
result is like asbestosis, and can take decades to show. I can speak of this on a first hand basis.
Always use the best mask that can be had.
Try and cut using tools with teeth, that give large(ish) granules as a result.
Cheers,
Syd. (Cough, splutter...)

I was thinking more for the finishing filler rather than the fibre glass itself.

i would, personally, get a rotary sander for the rough shape and finish it by hand - i think you would agree that an electric sander is too violent
for the finishing touches, though very effective at quickly finding the rough shape. then again, if they are less than £20 you may as well...

I got an orbital sander with an integral dust collector for £12.99 and it's very efficient but I use a small palm type 1/3 sheet sander as well
for small jobs. 80 grit soon rips stuff down for roughing shapes out but you still need a dust mask I think.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
