The Pumpkincaster had its last coat of DEFT on Sunday. Today it passed two tests. 1)when I hit it with my fingernail it sort of goes "click" instead of "thunk" and 2)when wetsanding it is not loading the paper.
So...
Some water, some liquid soap in that water, a sanding block, and some 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper and I get to start taking off that DEFT. The goal is to knock down all of the shine.
Something like this.
Took about an hour to go around the sides, the front and the back.
Now that I've opened it up I am going to let it outgas for a couple of days before I touch it again. Next time will be with 600 grit paper.
Got to be careful to not sand through to the color coat...or even worse, sand through to the wood.
That would be bad.
Very bad.
Buttercaster is getting its final coat(s) of DEFT tonight. It will be ready for 400 grit about the same time the Pumpkincaster will be getting hit with 600 grit.
