Thom Thumb asked:


The grain on the shingles on my house runs vertically. Would it damage them to use a sander?

(This is the siding of the house)
I’m using a scraper now, not a sander. It’s very very hard on my hands. I’m a professional guitarist and I need to preserve them. Thus the idea of a sander.

    you would be better off getting a paint stripper that goes onto your drill. and you may want to try to pressure wash first to get the already loose stuff off first
