Wooster Brush 1805 Dust Eater Duster Refill

Product Information

The test-bed room is our gym, which sounds very upmarket, but it’s a converted garage, albeit fairly well done. It was wired up for data, audio and a lot of extra power, plaster boarded, insulated and skimmed. We put down a high quality engineered hardwood floor that had been removed from the lounge.

I’ve never been too hot on the H&S side of work, but I’m starting to see why it’s worth the time to remove obstacles. Hand Sanding sometimes best

Another day gone and more mid-morning sunlight revealed, to my surprise, a near perfect flat paint filler finish. It is quite something to see and indeed feel responsible for.If I could afford a dust-free system I would. Yes I can reach the same level of finish with my Flex & Henry but it’s doing it the hard way, if working on a lot of areas. Organise the work area properly I am very particular and spent so much time sanding, but discovered I had been sanding areas that were in fact absolutely fine, simply because I could not see the problem area. With an inspection light at an angle I could see that 90%+ was perfect & only some areas needed the extra sanding. What a revelation. Probably you pros all know this & do this, but I must have wasted two days sanding areas I need not have done.

The Wooster Dust Eater is another lightbulb moment for solving the problem of how to clean dust off walls and ceilings, prior to painting. Thanks Andrew for making the effort to write this article explaining what you did right, wrong and what you learned for next time. I left a rowing machine, a cross trainer & a multi gym in the room. What a mistake, when you also have piles of tools & materials and 4 full Henry bags of ‘Prestonett talcum powder’ lying around the work space.

Conclusion

In the main, good quality trade materials are not costing any more than shed stuff. In some cases less. Just a note about our project & place. It’s a 1920 double bow window affair, the Margo & Gerry type house and we have extended, expanded and modified every single aspect of it several times over and over many years. Application of filler was relatively easy on the larger areas, of which there was only one! But I found that the 10″ spreader was too large to fit into the tub. Sounds a minor detail but frustrating. So I loaded the spreader using a cheap flexible filling knife. Cleaner for me but probably sounds a little time too consuming if you are a pro? I found a lot of small and larger concave and convex bubbles in the finish. Frustrating but it was an easy fix with a continental knife…..time consuming but saved on the sanding a good deal. Well, it should have saved on the sanding. And then the sanding!
