orbital sander

just checking that it’s OK to use one of these on a hot coat

  • i could cut bit of carpet for an extra ‘softness’ pad and i’d

stay away from the rails with it!

it’s that or by hand

5’10" fishy (that ol’ chesnut) between coats

It’s OK, but it’s gonna take you some time. No need for the extra carpet-pad, either, on a hot-coat, as those finish-sanders are way less agressive than the rotating ones.
