Sanding block

Good preparation is most of the finish. This flexible Harris block keys weathered timber before you apply a Protek coating and takes the nibs off between coats, and it bends to follow mouldings and turned edges that a flat block cannot reach. It works on wood, metal, and plastic, so it covers the garden bench and the gate hinges alike.

Pick coarse to take back rough or previously coated wood, medium for general preparation, and fine for a smooth surface before a final coat.
