Refurbishing Furniture with 150 Grit Sandpaper

Refurbishing furniture is a rewarding DIY project, and using the right tools is essential for achieving professional-quality results. 150 grit sandpaper strikes the perfect balance between coarse and fine sanding, making it an indispensable choice for removing scratches and prepping surfaces for finishing. Let’s dive into the details.

Why Choose 150 Grit Sandpaper?

• Medium Sanding: Great for leveling uneven surfaces.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Assess the Furniture

Inspect the furniture for scratches, dents, or old finishes that need removal. Make a note of the areas requiring special attention.

Step 2: Start with 150 Grit Sandpaper

Attach 150 grit sandpaper to your sanding tool. Begin sanding the surface with moderate pressure, moving along the grain to maintain consistency.

Step 3: Focus on Problem Areas

Apply extra care to scratches or dents, ensuring they are smoothed out without damaging the wood.

Step 4: Clean the Surface

Use a microfiber cloth to remove all sanding dust. For a spotless surface, lightly dampen the cloth before wiping.
