  • Heavy sanding for new sink location
    Introduction
    Sanding is an important step in surface preparation before installing a new sink. It helps eliminate imperfections, old finishes and glue or putty residue. Heavy sanding is especially necessary if the sink location is changed, as it is important to create a flat, even surface to ensure a good seal and aesthetically pleasing installation.
    Necessary materials
    Sandpaper of various grits (80, 120, 220)
    Electric sander (optional)
    Protection's mask
    Protective glasses
    Protective gloves
    Vacuum cleaner
    Sanding steps
    Surface preparation: Start by cleaning the surface using a degreaser or cleaner specific to the surfaces you are sanding.
    Make sure the surface is dry before starting sanding.
    Rough Sanding: Start by using 80-grit sandpaper to remove major imperfections, old finishes, and glue or putty residue. Sand in a circular motion, applying even pressure.
    Medium sanding: Then use 120-grit sandpaper to smooth the surface and remove scratches left by rough sanding. Continue sanding in a circular motion.
    Fine sanding: Finish by using 220-grit sandpaper to obtain a perfectly smooth surface. This fine sanding is particularly important for surfaces susceptible to scratches, such as marble or granite.
    Final cleaning: Vacuum the sanding dust and clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust.
    Additional Tips
    If you use an electric sander, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
    Always wear a protective mask, protective glasses and protective gloves to avoid inhaling sanding dust and injuring your hands.
    Work in a well-ventilated area.
    If you are sanding a wooden surface, be careful not to sand too hard, as this may damage the wood.
    If you are sanding a stone surface, use sandpaper specific for natural stones.
    Conclusion
    Heavy sanding is an essential step in preparing the surface before installing a new sink. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your new sink will be installed correctly and will look great for many years to come.
