Hi, I would appreciate some advice on which sanding tool to purchase for my particular problem.
We are working on large Glass fibre lined walls (GRP - smooth finish as in a bath tub etc), which have faded over time and to freshen up, the owners have painted the surfaces using an Emulsion type paint. The paint is baked on and hard, flaking off in places and cracking, with a very rough finish.
To sand the surfaces we are currently using Bosch PEX220A Random Orbit Sanders to sand down and smooth the surfaces. However these are taking a very long time to work through each wall as well as ensuring the surface is smooth enough to re-work.
Could you advise on which sander/s would be most suitable for this application, bearing in mind that the walls are large surface areas and we need to carry out our work quickly and efficiently to reduce our time as much as possible. In addition to the flat surface of the walls, we also need to sand into a curved corner (30mm radius), so anything you can suggest for that would be helpful too.
Unfortunately I do not have any pictures I can post for this query. I would appreciate a swift and detailed response please. If you have any further questions that arise, please do not hesitate to ask.
kind regards
