    18 Greens Road Dandenong. Will be quite a few Festool staff and trainers there tomorrow morning.

    Come down for an Egg & Bacon roll if you are in the area, or enjoy your Festool as much as we do.

    Well the surfix comes with instructions not reading them was first mistake .


    But basically I was taking the surface down to a 800 finish then using the vries pads which would then heatup and form balls wrecking the surface. I learnt that I need to go only to 240 finish then onto the vries to get a mirror finish. this will save time and effort yeah
