Michael,
I'd be happy if my painting improved every time I sanded and repainted! One of these days I simply must learn brush control.....
Linda dear,
Always remember that the fifteen horsepower industrial strength belt sander you wield is not Mr. Painting's friend....... It is a good studio defense weapon though.
I laminated ABS to birch with a high quality kitchen countertop cement back in the days when I was handy with my hands. Nowadays I have
New Traditions do it for me.
I sand between coats, before glazing, and just about anytime I'm in the mood. Some folks have been heard to say that I sand better than I paint. Sanding is a relaxing hobby.
Sometimes I'd rather sand than paint, especially when the painting begins to get difficult.
