Step 6Surface preparation..
Okay.. the structure is there, now it's time to prepare all surfaces and put it back together..
I used a belt sander to remove most of the previous stain.
Incidentally, it was "old teak" and the original manufacturer was quite rough in putting it together, slopping in about in parts (as you can see from the first photo in the intro) and only sanding roughly to give it that "rustic" look.
Sanding the hole thing gave it a more finished look in the end - and removed old coffee rings!
Okay, so for tech spec's I think I used something like 80 and then 120 grit belts.
I also filled any holes and dints with wood filler. The table is pine, so I bought.. er.. pine!
