I have 2 one with the Velcro base one with the clips both work very well and are very well made, I prefer not to sand but when I do they are the ones I reach for.

Mostly the surface should be ok from the blade of the plane and / or scraper.

Nasty, noisy, dusty, thing to do, sharp plane or scraper and a coat of Danish Oil a wipe down with a scotch brite pad and another coat or two and off you go.

I can confirm Pete's aversion to sanding.
Mind you he has bolluxed up both of his thumbs using a scraper :roll:
