Hi all
I quite often make bits and pieces out of pine and use a random orbit sander plus a palm sander to smooth the items of prior to antique or oak waxing. Sometimes I will use a medium oak stain then wax.
But I often get a repeating problem when the wax goes on I'm left with tiny 5mm circle marks left by the sander.
Today I was sanding a table top. Scraped all the glue of and started with the random orbit sander 120 grit. Then after a good sand moved onto 180grit palm sander. Lastly i finished off with 240grit palm sander.
I spent a total of an hour on the top working through the grades.
It's a Metabo 150mm random orbit followed by a Makita palm sander.
Wax on reviled the tiny sander marks again.
If I use sanding sealer will it prevent this? Will it also prevent the wax (Oak) from soaking in?
These marks look bad. How do I avoid this?
Cheers Alan
