Soft brushes may help with detailed cleaning, while stiff bristles and abrasive pads can remove residue or loose finish from durable surfaces. Products that are too aggressive may scratch wood, damage soft grain, cut through veneer, or leave visible patterns beneath a new coating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect the least aggressive product capable of completing the task and test it in a concealed area. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s guidance when using a brush or pad with cleaners and strippers because some materials may soften, dissolve, or react. Wear suitable gloves, eye protection, and respiratory equipment, and control dust and splashing. Observe the rated speed and mounting instructions for power-tool accessories. Do not use wire brushes where broken wires could become embedded or where metal contamination may cause staining. Clean the surface thoroughly after preparation and allow it to dry before applying filler, adhesive, stain, or finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/surface-prep-brushes-pads.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
