Hello,
I am currently preparing to paint my door frames and skirting boards and I have read everywhere that I will need to sand or strip off the paint first.
So I have bought a electric sander as I have a lot to do!
I've just started and using a 60 grit sandpaper. I started on the door frame and did a bit and got to this stage but I'm not sure if this is enough. Everywhere says I have to sand it to get a 'key' but how do you define that?
Here is a couple of pics.
This is before sanding:
and this is after:
As you can see the 'after' pics still has some of the dark yellow bits which is still the gloss because it is not totally flat. But if I need to totally eliminate all the yellow bits, it will take ages and ages!
Please advise ...
