<DIV align=left>Eons ago, when I was just beginning pianowork, we sprayed a few coats, then let dry overnight, sanded, sprayed, sanded etc...I haven't refinished a piano in 20 years but is it now unnecessary to sand between coats?</DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>The most efficient way to go is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1.Spray all coats on the piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Rebuild the piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Rub the piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This method will allow for curing while rebuilding. Make sure you spray enough material to avoid rub through, because you will have to wait for a touch up to cure and match the look of your cured coating.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am doing more rebuilding now and would like to know if you rebuild first and then refinish or vise versa. In the past I have done each on separate pianos but never together. Which way works best and why?</FONT></DIV>
