Sanding fiddly bits?

Oct 14, 2010 2 Replies

I have some seat slats with tatty varnish that's coming off in places but is stuck fast in others. I want to take the whole lot off so I can start again with a marine coating system that starts by soaking into bare wood. I've made good progress tonight on the top sides of the slats using a sandpaper flap wheel in a drill.



The problem will come when I have to get in between the slats and in the fiddly corners. The flap wheel won't fit here; the distance between the slats varies but goes down to 3/4" or so in places. The whole lot is glued and screwed together and fits precisely into its place, so I don't want to try to take it apart.



Is there a cunning tool that will work like a flap wheel but fit into gaps and corners?



Cheers,



Pete

Assuming you can get to both sides of the slats, can't you just feed strips of sandpaper through and use a "sawing" motion from each side?
