What are the best sanding techniques for restoring weathered pine outdoor loungers?
Restoring weathered pine outdoor loungers requires careful sanding to revive their natural beauty. Start by cleaning the surface to remove dirt and debris. Use coarse-grit sandpaper (80-100 grit) to strip away old finishes and smooth rough areas. Progress to medium-grit (120-150) for finer smoothing, then finish with fine-grit (180-220) for a polished surface. Always sand along the wood grain to avoid scratches. For deep weathering, consider using a power sander for efficiency. After sanding, apply a protective sealant to prevent future damage. Regular maintenance will keep your pine loungers looking fresh for years.
