My neighbor's "just use sandpaper" advice for deck restoration cost me a whole weekend
Tbh I should have known better. My neighbor Bob has been cutting corners on everything since I moved in 3 years ago. But he sounded so sure when he said a palm sander with 80 grit would strip my old deck stain just fine. 2 days later and 12 sheets of sandpaper wasted, I had barely made a dent in a 12x16 deck. Bought a chemical stripper from Home Depot for $35 and had the whole thing done in 4 hours. Anyone else have a well meaning neighbor give you advice that backfired?
