I've had mine for a year and a half, and I want to sand it down and repaint something Cool on it.
Any suggestions on how I go about it without ruining my board?
Sanding paper and scotchbrite pads are very helpful for base work, but if you don't apply even pressure across the full width of the base they can do damage.
Start with a coarse (100 grit) paper wrapped around a sanding tube or block or something to quickly remove excess P-Tex material. Then switch to progressively finer grits (120, 150, 180 and so on) to finish. After sanding, be sure to remove P-Tex Hairs on the base by brushing with a brass, bronze or copper brush...followed by medium and fine scotchbrite or fibertex...followed by an omni-prep pad. Finish by waxing the bases as usual!

But if your going to sand it down just use regular sand paper. Make sure to make it all even, or you will have a warped board.quote:

Would a newly bought mouse sander work too?
My dad just bought himself a new "toy" today
