In preparation for our first Workshop at the Shop on Wood Ave, Mary Jo and Kathie spent a half day Thursday sanding a large group of toys to remove sharp edges resulting from spraying them with a water based polyurethane finish. The polyurethane is less toxic and less expensive than "spray-can" lacquer, so it's better for the environment, safer and easier on the person doing the spraying, easier on the budget, and looks as good as high gloss lacquer on light colored wood. But it does sometimes raise the grain on the edges of the wood, so may require some hand sanding before installing wheels.
So to get a little head start on the wheel installing operation, time was well spent by Mary Jo and Kathie on the day before. Thank you Mary Jo and Kathie!
