existing finish by the flow-over system that

Sand
seat edges random orbitally, balance of surfaces
with palm sander. The intent is to restore, not make
the pew look new, hence no belt sanding, planeing or
other harsh wood removal techniques. |
Flow
over stripping trays are used to remove the existing
finish. Because the pews are not submerged, there is
no
grain raise, bleaching or loosening of glue joints. |
