I am re-using existing luan underlayment floor, in preparation for

installer, who has seen my floor underlayment and recommends its re-
use.

Which type of sander should I buy, to touch-up the skimcoat after I
have spread it?

Random orbital, belt, vibrating pad?

A random orbit sander will work fine, about $100 or less. If the
floor is large consider renting a floor sander, but you will still
need a smaller sander for the edges, corners. A belt sander is very
aggressive.


Please reply urgently. I am buying the sander tonight. I appreciate
any input you have.

PS - I cannot stop the group from pontificating at length on my
situation. But please: if you must type 1000 words on the wisdom of my
project, at least throw in some advice about the sander.
