  • what do you want someone to tell you?
    You hate that sander. Upgrade it - makita bo5039/2 or bo4555/2 or Bosch ssg 160,, the cheeper to run are the 1/4 paper, as the clips will except standard 115mm roll paper,,, BUT the faster way is by hand with p80 alu oxide paper - it comes off easy? take it off easy?
    Key the surface and apply paint.
    The notion of a one coat paint existing sounds like it's from a 1990s Dulux wall paint advert,, yes you can have the first coat looking as the top coat but that's for your skill and judgement

  • What I would like is an easy way that makes minimal mess and dust as there are cats in the house. Also new carpet, and in the warm weather and open windows means dust everywhere.

    I don't like the mouse sander as such, as the cheap sander sheets don't have holes that match and I'm an utter fuck wit and can't seem to drill the holes in the right place.

    Don't really fancy buying another tool that I'm not going to use more than once.

    I did not chose the paint, the ex chose the paint from b&m. Wanted the zinnser one coat or a decent proper trade gloss. Preferably water based due to voc.

    @Airhead have used a wallpaper scraper on two doors and two frames that seems to take ages. Also a real toll on my arms. Yes I'm that unfit.

    Maybe different with a hand sander, but don't have one.

    @aggi thank you, had a further look and found that its do the trend sheets with the hook and loop attachment
