Sanding Accoya wood presents no challenges. Tests have shown that it is often not necessary to sand Accoya wood between coats of water based coatings since fibers scarcely ‘bloom’ or rough the surface after moisture absorbance. Nevertheless, advice should be taken from your coatings partner on good process detail, as poor practice may result in reduced surface aesthetics. Avoid aggressive types of sanding and orbital palm sanders if a smooth flat surface is required.
