Q: How long should it take to sand stairs?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re DIYing the project, it could take up to a week if you aren&rsquo;t able to dedicate full-time hours. If you hire a professional and they arrive with a team, expect your stairs to be sanded in as little as 2 hours (for simple projects). Finishing the stairs takes a while longer as there are drying and sealing times to consider, but the actual work will take much less time than the sanding portion. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of sandblasting?

• <div><p>The disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Which costs more: soda blasting or sandblasting?

• <div><p>Soda-blasting systems are slightly more expensive than sandblasting systems. To soda blast, you&rsquo;ll need to spend a few hundred dollars for a blast hose and nozzle, a compressed air supply, a blast generator, a moisture decontamination system, and sodium bicarbonate media, a recurring cost because the powder is not reusable. To start with sandblasting, you will need to spend upwards of $30 for a blast pot, a blast gun, an air compressor, and sandblasting media, many of which are recyclable&mdash;further reducing the cost. The total cost for either will depend on the size of the system.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to sand a deck?

• <div><p>The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods. </p></div>

Q: Will sandblasting remove paint?

• <div><p>Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you&rsquo;ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast. </p></div>

Service department--never trusted anything they said was wrong with my car, had problems in the past, but went there again due to time constraints and health problems and I was treated like I'm stupid from the moment I asked the first question. Left in car after telling them I'd take it...

At the full service station the attendant arrived promptly at the pump, filled the tank, washed the windshield, checked under the hood and then check the tires upon request at no extra fee. He was courteous and helpful.
