If it were my Job >>> md80 , scrub, oxalic wash sand where needed with 60 grit random orbit JonMon www.dec....O wait I forgot no sites are allow to be posted here.

Thanks, John!

Where can I get md80?

I do have some nails that I couldn't sink - is that going to damage the random orbital sander? This is why I was thinking of renting the 12x18 vibrating plate since it has the pad. Suggestions between the two sanders?

I already got yelled at for posting web sites over here the garden police think that's promoting business so I cant tell you where to get md80 but you might try a google with WoodRich.

There are no nails you cant countersink. Any kind of sander is going to get it's pads torn up if you run it over the top of a few nails. J.

Ha, good enough! Woodrich only has HD-80 - is that the same thing as MD-80?

Sorry bout that I must have had my Harley on my mind.

Its MD-80 al right, That site as a two part system for sale with the stripper /brightner ( buffered oxalic ) that works very well. I would buy from them myself but the 50 lb bags of oxalic cost like $40. JonMon
