Thank you! I purchased a new Surfprep sander and wasn't too clear on how to use it and the pads properly. I watched many tutorials and your video was the best. I now have the knowledge and courage to put this baby to good use!

Great explanation, you are a pro! The tip on using 120 grit when you are going to stain make so much sense!

SurfPrep Sanding thank you!!!! I have stained a few things in my day lol 😂

Thank you. I am looking at purchasing one and after watching your video I am comfortable to do so. ❤

So thankful you did this excellent video! I am getting ready to purchase this sander today. I purchased a fixer house and am a complete novice. I will be stripping railing, window trim, and cabinets to restrain. It is so helpful that you included the sandpaper grit for stripping!!! Extremely inspiring for me to see a woman doing this and makes me feel confident that I will be able to complete my projects. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much for this demo! I opened my Surf Prep the other day and had no idea how to attach the black hose to the sander. I haven't yet looked at the attachment for the shop vac. Also, I bought a dust catcher to try to preserve the filter on my shop vac. Will look at it all soon. Love your work, your explanations and your 10 minute Tuesdays.

Excellent demo of this product. Thanks.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving such in depth review of the SurfPrep sander. I've watched furniture flippers using it, but no one seems to explain the how and why's of using it. You mentioned that you will do a video later on on the different papers. Would love to know if you did, as I would love to watch it! You truly have a gift!! Thank you!

Thank you very much. I've been wanting one for a long time. It's pricey but once again, find that with info you've given, it's worth it. I especially appreciate the tip about the hoses so thanks very much!

Thx. Just got my surfprep yesterday (hubby got me one for our 32d wedding anniversary…no need for jewelry just get me a surf prep!). Excited to sand my table after watching your demo.

I just got mine in the mail today!! I am so excited to get started using it! Your video was so helpful!

Excellent video! I am considering buying one, so your demo was very helpful!

That has to be the best sander I've seen yet. If I did a lot of furniture restoring, it would definitely be on my list. Awesome machine! And your instructions were spot on, per usual. Thanks!

I live in a historic 1913 craftsman bungalow. Most of the wood work in our home was painted, until I purchased a surfprep 3x4 sander. The surfprep makes restoring all the wood in my home so fast and easy and is virtually dust free which is awesome for my young family. Surfprep is the best!

I purchased a refurbished one from Surfprep, which is practically new! AND I did exactly what you mention at the end - I sanded in my living room! It's Feb and too cold in the garage, so what the heck, why not. It worked perfectly! Would love to see a video from you about how you use each grit and pad. As a newbie to all this I can probably figure it out but a tutorial would be fantastic. Thanks!

When I first started, I stripped an extension table with my MOUSE sander, can’t even remember what grit paper I used but it took me like 8 hours over two days!!

Hi. I would love to see an updated video on how the pads have worn for you since you do this so often. Also regarding the pads that are foam? Because I do a lot of things with French provincials and they have a lot of curves. Love your work.

Am considering this sander, saw that another refinisher i follow uses it, too. I’ll just be doing smaller furniture pieces as a hobby. She uses the 5” orbital but my gut tells me that the 3x4 is sufficient for me - what would added benefit of 5” orbital other than increased sanding surface? And (may be a dumb question) could I attach this to my house vacuum - it’s a higher end canister w/ good motor. (Hate the idea of buying a shop vac as I am short of storage room.) TIA and you do a great job on-camera explaining. Not everyone can do that!

Is it better than a festool? Idk which one to get.

So I just received my 3x4 electric ray. I started using it last night. I used the interface pad and an 80 grit paper to try to remove a not so good finish and a hutch that I’m doing. I cannot get the finish to come off! It’s like I’m standing for nothing. Do you have some tips? I watched your video and I think I did exactly what you’re doing to no avail.

What attachments would you use if you were stripping paint also?

Hopefully it comes to Australia 😍😊💕👍🏽

Another question - are you still using this sander today? I see this video is from 4 years ago so I’m curious if you still love it? Ty

Hello fr Divine Designs in Canada watch you all the time... Ok so yes I bought my surf prep about 4 months ago ... They sent the wrong one !!! Instead of returning as I now know I should of lol I hooked it up to my compressor and away I went ... Works great !!! Except I now have to listen to my loud compressor which I hate ... My shop is sooooo dusty I have to cover all my painted pieces before I sand Vacuum my piece continually as I go IAM going to order another one the right one like you have ... Now the replacement sandpaper only comes in large quantities over a hundred in each ..OUCH ...MEGA DOLLORS

Bahama Mama thank you, no no I am an influencer and so I work with brands to promote them or review products.

Surfprep is a great sander, although i use it for sanding in between coats, with the 3mm stroke and small surface area its great for light work especially with their soft pads. Now if you're looking for a serious tool, a festool rotex in aggressive mode could have that whole table sanded in 30 seconds with a 100 grit paper and zero dust. Now if you want something great for an all around sander, the festool ets or mirka deros with 5 mm stroke are the best there is out there.

I think I've seen every KZread video on Festool and Surfprep. Why the top of the line and most expensive? Because I have asthma and have suffered trying to work on all of the projects I have been "collecting" projects with great intentions to restore. I do not like a lot of the furniture we see in stores these days. I love the things I have refinished, including painting. So, I bit the bullet and bought a CT36, Festool sander I wanted, some other accessories, and a surfprep. I don't do KZread videos, but I have bought a lot of sanders for projects. Ridiculous waste of money. My very sick dog just passed. I'm going to use my grief and put my emotions to work. Thanks for your info and input.

My assumption is that the surfprep foam sanders are better for irregular contours, but not near as good as a high quality random orbit sander. For this price you could get a Festool sander which is way better for flat surfaces

@BellaRenovare

2 жыл бұрын

You can use it for either surface. They have random orbitals as well. This originally was made for cabinet refinishers. Festool is a good brand too. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I will say one thing that is really important to me is customer service and how a company treats me and that has been amazing with surf prep.

@SethCorbinMusic

@@BellaRenovare hmm, that is good to know about their customer service. I am interested in a foam pad sander for contours, but almost all the sanding I do is flat surfaces which is where my random orbital sanders shine. But when you need to sand contours, nothing beats these I bet
