To Sand - MissPompadour Sanding Pad

You can actually spread our water-based colours on all smooth surfaces without any preparatory work. The paint adheres easily to the second coat, even on high-gloss surfaces, especially if you have applied a primer coat of To Bond & Block. But sometimes a painted surface is not completely even. Or you have painted raw wood and the small wood fibres stand up when drying, so that the surface is not completely smooth. Then you should use the MissPompadour Sanding Pad. It is gentle and will not destroy the surface structure of your painted surface. With To Sand, you can achieve smooth surfaces that can then be beautifully finished with water-based paints. You will find that, as with brushes and paint rollers, good quality also plays an important role with a sanding pad if you want to achieve a perfect result.

Our sanding pad for shabby chic furniture design

If you are refurbishing old furniture and want to achieve a beautiful vintage effect, you absolutely need a high-performance sanding pad. After you have thoroughly cleaned your workpiece, sand it twice with your chosen colour. Once you have painted it opaque and the paint has dried thoroughly, use To Sand. Now slowly and carefully sand any areas that would have suffered from years of use and would look a little "worn". Sand the colour away down to the wood. If your workpiece is made of very light-coloured wood, such as softwood, you can colour the corresponding areas with dark paint before painting. This will create a more striking contrast. Use the MissPompadour Sanding Pad to bring out these areas again. Keep working with the sanding pad until you are happy with the vintage look. Finally, you should finish the piece of furniture with CosyColours Furniture Wax colourless or antique. Of course, clear varnish is also suitable for stabilising. We have described the exact procedure in our blog!

The application of To Sand on metal

When you paint an old piece of furniture, the lock plates, keys, handles and furniture knobs are often still in good shape, but the surface is not in good condition. Simply paint over them with our chalk paint! And finally, when the paint has dried well, sand the metal with the MissPompadour Sanding Pad. This gives a great used effect. Here too, you can finish the metal with clear varnish or topcoat.
