This is my first project on a bathroom. I was told I have to sand 3 levels of sandpaoer to make sure i get a good smooth finish then primer before I paint. Your video was so much easier to understand on how to attach the sandpaper compared to most mens videos. Thank you!

This was so incredibly helpful to me. I'm pretty new to diying so I searched for about 20 minutes looking for basic help with the sander. So glad I came across your video. I just subscribed. Can't wait to see what you do next!!! Thanks

Thank you for this! I just bought a palm sander to sand my deck before staining it and this makes me feel confident that I can do it!

Thanks for that sanding primer. I was always a little rough around the edges with being handy. I hope to smooth out my skills eventually.

[@CaseyGCreates]

I'm hoping for smooth sailing for you the next time you sand something!

[@tralanthia]

Thank you so much for your very detailed video because I had watched another one before yours and I was lost even more from the video than the owners manual

Hey thanks! I watched 4 other videos of guys just whipping it out and not explaining anything before your video came up! Super helpful, descriptive, tips as you went, just overall touching on thr basics to get started! Great work and thanks for making this :)

Thank you! I appreciate your compliment and I’m glad my video helped you 😃

[@hammer86_]

Thank you! I didn't know about the sandpaper punch! I just used my palm sander and got dust everywhere. After watching the video I looked in the case and there was the punch! Maybe I'll remember next time.

[@CaseyGCreates]

I’m glad I could help!

[@randallcastillo2179]

Can this product be used for polishing

[@CaseyGCreates]

Yes, but with the right attachments and polishing compound. I can make a quick video if you want some more info.

I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine kzbin.infoUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

[@kelticenigma7987]

If I want to repaint a door the same color do I need to sand it down to the wood or can I just rough up the surface with sandpaper just to give the new coat of paint a surface to adhere to?

[@CaseyGCreates]

@@kelticenigma7987 just a rough up with some sandpaper will work

[@MicheleSleighel]

Thank you!

[@CaseyGCreates]

You’re welcome!

[@SankethRao]

Ty so much was so helpful, one question the sandpaper hole stencil did it come with the tool?

[@CaseyGCreates]

Mine did and I think it’s pretty standard to come with the sander. You might be able to buy one separate by googling the brand of yours. Or you can just hole punch your new sheet of sandpaper in the same spots. Thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped!

[@SankethRao]

@@CaseyGCreates thanks for the prompt reply Casey!

[@williamgonzalez7926]

Thanks for the Video. I used mine once and when I was almost finished sanding top of 2 tv folding tables it lost power. Still turns on but lower speed. Any idea,what couldve happened?

[@CaseyGCreates]

Hi! There are several things that could've happened. How do you have the dust collection set up? Is there a bag on it? It could be that you just need to empty that out. You might've been pressing the sander down while sanding and it could have something mechanical broken inside. Depending on what brand and how old it is, it could have a warranty still left on it. If not the repair might be more than to get a new one.

[@babylove8541]

Does the square sanders primarily serve for the corners of the floor?

[@CaseyGCreates]

That’s one thing it can be used for but it’s not the primary reason for it.

[@babylove8541]

@@CaseyGCreates Thank you.

[@HouseScraper]

thank you so much for this video I just bought a craftsman 1/4 palm sander and was breaking all of my nails off trying to figure out what I did wrong.

[@CaseyGCreates]

I’m glad it helped!

[@zombeie]

Awesome! Very nice video, I am your subscriber, I have a black and decker ka400 sander and it has a valcro type sticky base so if I use a regular sandpaper and cut it in 1/4 would it damage the valcro base or is there any way to safely remove that thing from the base

[@CaseyGCreates]

Hi! Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what the velcro thing is for on a 1/4 sheet sander. A random orbital sander (they're round instead of square) has velcro and the sandpaper is the other velcro side for easy changing. Does it have clamps on the side to hold the sandpaper? Or is the velcro the way to hold the sandpaper?

[@zombeie]

@@CaseyGCreates yes it has clamps to hold the sandpaper on front and back side

[@kute-N-sweet]

Can this be used on concrete walls?

[@CaseyGCreates]

No concrete is too tough for a small sander like this. You’d need something a lot stronger like an angle grinder with a concrete wheel. Or even better is a concrete rubbing stone!

[@kute-N-sweet]

@@CaseyGCreates thanks a lot

[@CaseyGCreates]

@@kute-N-sweet no problem!

Hey, by chance do you have the hyper tough oscillating multi-function tool? If so can you please do a video on how to use it. I don’t want to hurt myself

[@CaseyGCreates]

Hey! I don't have it and have only used one like twice lol. But my bf has one so I'll see if I can borrow his and show you what to do. He's out of town right now though so it might be a few weeks. Thanks for watching!

[@CaseyGCreates]

@@Michelle-pq2ge hey girl I'm so sorry but I've had the rona for a couple weeks now and my bfs tool is out of commission. I'm sorry but I can't do the video for you but I do have some tips. Make sure to hold it in both hands while you're using it the first few times until you're comfortable. Sometimes it will slip but make sure your hands or something important isn't near the blade.It sounds awful, too so wear some ear plugs or something while you're using it, too.

[@sherylhylton6060]

I just bought a sander but it has no dust bag. Any hacks/suggestion. Great video😍

[@CaseyGCreates]

Thanks! I acutally just learned a hack for that! If it has a place to attach a dust bag you can tape the hose from a vacuum to it and run the vacuum at the same time. I'm going to upload a #short soon to show how to do it!

[@KissNsdt]

Excellent Instructional video. I've watched many videos and everyone skips over the "punching holes" option when using cut 1/4 sheet paper vs. precut 1/4 sheet paper. Thank you!!!

[@CaseyGCreates]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@niseylee2217]

Me too!

[@dmariewalker6880]

So why the hole punch to put holes in the bottom of the sandpaper? My skill sander is not that way.

[@CaseyGCreates]

It doesn't have the hole punch or the holes at all? As far as I know a sander needs the holes to allow the dust that you're sanding off to be vacuumed into the dust bag so it doesn't go everywhere.

[@dmariewalker6880]

@@CaseyGCreates nope, none at all, I’m using it now, sanding my deck.

[@CaseyGCreates]

@@dmariewalker6880 There are no holes on the pad where you put the paper or just the paper? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that seems pretty unsafe and inefficient. Without the holes, the dust doesn't have a safe place to go. It either gets stuck in the sandpaper, so it's not as smooth a finish or it goes out in the air and then you breathe it in. It's good that you're using it outside though!

How to change wallpaper on a Black & Decker sander

[@CaseyGCreates]

I'm not sure about a Black & Decker as I only have the Hyper Tough. If it's a 1/4 sheet sander, it should be the same as the one I have. If not, try searching for a video similar to mine but for a random orbital sander, belt sander, or a detail sander.

[@christyenglert5151]

How many time can a sheet of sandpaper be used?

[@CaseyGCreates]

Longer than you would think but as long as it's still removing wood from your piece, it can be used. You might have to work a little bit more at it after some time but as long as it's still useful, you can use it.

[@pinkrainbowkennelz1640]

Is the sander supposed to be screaming like a little girl because that's the noise mine is given off😮 y every hyper tough product that I buy I just have bad luck from the solar lights to the cordless circular saw to this hand sander

[@CaseyGCreates]

It does have a pretty high pitched noise with it but most sanders do. Wear ear muffs if it’s too much for you. I turned down the audio from when I was recording but mine did sound like a little girl screaming lol I haven’t had an issue with the circular saw. Hyper tough brand isn’t the best brand out there so it honestly doesn’t surprise me you’ve had issues.

[@pinkrainbowkennelz1640]

I'm fine with a normal sander but mine is going to be returned because the sound is not normal you'res sound good though mine sounds like someone is screaming for their life

[@duno7515]

my hands get numb when i use the sander i just used one for the first time and got scared literally used it for 1 minute and now i’m taking a break 🙃

[@CaseyGCreates]

Yes that can happen if you’re holding it too hard. It’s normal though! The sander vibrates and your hands aren’t used to vibrating like that so there will be some getting used to it.
