No sanding required, but just be sure to thoroughly remove any loose rust with a scraper before applying the rust converter.

No. Just wipe off any dust etc and apply. Great stuff. I ve used a bunch of it on my boat trailer and items on my boat dock.

This is a pilot arc unit, therefore, you should not have to sand to bare metal. However heavy build-up of paint or rust could compromise the cut. One thing that is absolutely essential is a good ground. I would therefore definitely sand or grind the ground connection to expose bare metal. If you do that you should be able to cut painted or rusted metal.

I would think so. I went over a stained and finished bedroom set. No sanding required. Sanding left scratch marks in the finish which showed through the gel stain.

Yes, the instructions are thorough. There is also a demo on the company's web site. The only problem I had was on the top/finishing layer. It is not smooth - and I now need a power sander to smooth it out. Otherwise, it has held up well.

Yes. That is the 1st thing I did. Used it without having to remove object, thus didn't have to find a way to secure it to sand off approx 1/8". Just remember to take your time & not to try to sand too much too fast. Juri

It depends on the item, but at most a light sand is all that is required. I have stained everything from bare wood to highly poly'd coffee tables. I would recommend more sanding if there is a thick poly coat or very shiny surface. Coverage was amazing over already stained surfaces.

Im no expert here but i would think if you did a light sanding beforehand it would be alright.

You'd have to sand it first, as there is a slick finish to it. I think it would be too much trouble.

I thought I just answered this question. This would be the way to go about your sanding job. Good luck...

The Bosch does an excellent job detail sanding. It has true orbital action, although I found you still need to sand in the direction of the grain. It's a good quality tool, but the sandpaper that comes with it sucks.

This sander is used to prepare a vehicle for priming or repainting. You can use 6 inch "self-stick" sand paper - 200 to 600 grit. This tool is used to finish sand or feather edge primer or paint. This tool is not a grinder - you do not use it to strip old down to the metal. This tool is not used to polish or wax a vehicle - it spins much too fast.

Yes. Fill the holes, let the Bondo dry for 24 hours, sand with an electric sander, and you'll be ready to prime and paint.

Yes. You will love it. If your saw is set up properly the cuts will not need any sanding.

I am not sure about sanding. It may not work. You may be able to paint right over the finish as it is not a smooth finish.

After unpacking the box, about 5 minutes. Put on the sanding belt plug it in. No tools required.

Yes and no, because the working time is only a few hours of being really soft before gradually hardening. Making a large mass difficult. It is easy to sand and carve however. I personally would recommend putting smaller pieces over an armature, of say foil and wire, and blending sections together as you work. That's the way I work with my projects of similar size and this product. This product is amazing to smooth and blend just by using water or rubbing alcohol.

No. The sanding head and belt-rotator motors are seperate. A 110-120v and a 15-20 amp circuit is all you will need. It is a slow, gentle machine...both motors never under much load for very long. If you overload it...trying to sand too much too fast, it has a an interrupt to save you.
