abrasives out. So Sherry, I got a question for you. When abrasives get loaded with product, so if I'm sanding it along, I stay in one place a little bit too long and say the coating starts to get loaded into the abrasive, is that abrasive ruined? Do I have to throw it away or can I revive that or clean that up somehow? >> No, absolutely not. There's a couple ways you can do it. But of course, we always recommend using a uh you know, an airline or blowing it out. But if you don't have that handy, you can get a little piece of indoor outdoor carpet from like Home Depot or Lowe's. Just a little piece, put it on the edge of your table, take your sander, tap it with the uh paddle push, it'll knock all the debris off the face of the uh abrasive. And you can you can do that with coated as well as foam. >> So that's a that's an interesting tip. So, a Home Depot has like carpet samples. You can actually uh buy a carpet sample. So, I can go buy a carpet sample of indoor outdoor carpet. I can have my inspection table where I'm doing my doors. I can just have it sitting there. Anytime it gets loaded up, just clean it off. So, that'll work with like it'll work with film tech abrasives, abrasives, and your foam. >> Yes. >> So, there you have it. That is a pretty cool tip. If your um abrasives get loaded with either the wood product or the coating product, indooroutdoor tarpet will revive it and get it going like new
