    The bitumen stuff? A friend just got done dealing with that. Overstock on belts/discs, that stuff gums up or chews through them like nobody's business.

    I really enjoyed using the main sander. With a decent mask and good hearing protection, it's a very zen job. Shut everyone and everything out for a few hours. Although, lugging it up to the loft room was no fun single handed, especially the narrow top staircase. It's like a 45kg 1970's vacuum cleaner.

    That's the one. I swear at times I had to change the paper every few feet.

    Once all that went it wasn't too bad of a process to be honest. Despite dust bags the whole room was a cloud mind you.

    The one I had came with paper bags, which seemed to filter a lot of it out. Except when I caught it on something and it ripped open, which happened more than I care to admit. Still definitely needed a decent mask.
