Understanding sanding grits for the furniture flipper

Nobody likes to sand I personally hate it BUT if you mess it up your project is ruined before you even pick up a brush or a can of stain.
Sanding grits can be confusing but I hope with this video to give a few pointers.
Some of my favourate sanding supplies are:

Ria, I have never seen another woodworker explain this subject. You did it extremely well. Good for you. It will be especially helpful for someone that is just starting out. Thank you for making this video.

Its a video I've wanted to make for a while, its not exciting and fun but sanding really is a necessary evil. Hopefully its useful to some people but its not much talked ago. Thanks

Thanks Ria! I always wondered why you would use those higher grits…I’ve painted and refinished furniture for a while and never use any higher than 220. Glad to hear I’m doing it right…lol ☺️

Sounds like your doing it just perfect. I rarely go over the 220 but once in a while i might reach for a 320 or 400 to buff out a finish but probably count on one hand times Ive done that.

Great info Ria!! I do use paper bags-just cut out any print on it-just an extra measure for myself! Also would love to know starting Frits for thin veneer, thicker veneer, and laminate!!! Thank you Ria for all your helpful hints & tricks of the trade!!! By the way, I Love your nails!! Such a pretty color❤️💫❤️

Its hard to say always start with this grit as each piece is different. It really comes down to the condition of the piece the worse it is the courser (lower grit) you need to use. If your surface is pretty good and just needs a scuff sand before paint/stain I would probably go in at 150 that should be good enough to take out some light scratching too. If you have a bit more in the way of scratches 100 might be a good place to start. The other way to look at it could be if 150 just is not getting the job done change to 100 then change back 150 and 220. I think a good rule if your dealing with a very thin veneer is to hand sand it its a pain but a power sander can burn right through that before you realize its does it and yes talking from experience.
