This week Stefan De Santis shows us How to Sand MDF cabinet doors. He also gives us tips and tricks on how best to sand mdf and different papers and grit sequences.
He’s amazing !! Thanks for finding this dude, learnt a ton. I once took a festool rotex to a mdf door that had been in the house for like 20 years but when you get to the finishing stage the 3/4 is a great tool
Hmm, I tried that before and I could not get the corners level with the middle that was sanded by the orbital. Granted that was a refinish and not new mdf. Would a light pass with the orbital be best to be able to blend the corners? Last refinish I did I just sanded the entire center panel by hand and it came out well but it was a lot of work
Pete Rose if you are doing this professionally but a 3x4. It is going to make you money. Stefan has air advantage sanders that are a bit cheaper than surfprep.
Right and I have some ocean front property in Arizona that I will sell you. Be glad to get on Camera with you and we can have a shoot with you if your up for the challenge. Buy the way Stefan doesn’t sell surfprep he sells uneeda, 3m and other manufacturers.

Stefan is the man!
For those of us that don’t have a 3x4 sander what is the most effective way to sand mdf by hand?
I would a random orbit for what I could am then hand sand the corners.

Everything shown can be done with a $50 dewalt sande with various grit papers without paying the ridiculous prices from companies like surfprep

@@ericreason6559 I'll make a video, I've been in business 25 years. Nothing special about sanding a door
shidoin let’s get on a video together you can share your 25 years of experience of sanding.
You can DO IT with a dewalt but once you go surfprep you will never go back. Actually, I have a Mirka and I regret not buying one years ago.
