Can You Sand A Laminated Wood Stock

I do not recommend this to anyone.

Can you sand a laminated wood stock.

I finished a laminate stock with 3 coats of danish oil natural and 10 coats of behlens rock hard tabletop varnish wet sanding between varnish coats with 600 grit. Do not oversand which can easily permanently damage the thin laminate surface. Begin by sanding with progressively finer paper all the way to 400 grit. No man made material can quite match the quality of solid wood for furniture and interior woodwork but when you re installing cabinets.

The difference between wood composite veneer and laminate. Does anyone have an experience stripping one of their finished stocks down to the laminate and staining to change the color. It arrived today beautiful stock and beautiful finish but the color was isn t as rich as it looked online it is a pale brown tan. Sand the surface lightly just to scuff it up a little to make the stain adhere better.

Final coat was wet sanded 600 800 1000 and then rubbed out with meguiars 3 machine glaze. Certain laminated stocks are so rough when they come from the stock maker that you may have to be very aggressive at first. Begin by sanding with progressively finer paper all the way to 400 grit. When finishing laminated stocks with clear coat you need to prepare the wood carefully and build up quite a few thin layers one at a time.

Once it s dry gently sand the surface with a 220 grit sandpaper. Wipe the furniture down with a tack cloth to remove any fine debris from sanding. I ordered a nutmeg finish stock from boyd s.

Next apply an oil based primer with a brush or roller and wait 4 hours for it to dry.
