Aacer Flooring was a proud sponsor of Blake Steven’s “sand and finish school” of 2012. The school was held in Appleton, WI on March 6th and 7th. The attendees had traveled to the Blake Steven’s Fox Valley location from all over the state.
Tom Blakeman (Blake Steven’s Wood Flooring) was the school instructor with over 30 years of experience in the field. Mr. Blakeman and attendees utilized the school to try different sanding equipment and various paper patterns to show what works best with the variety of domestic species.They experimented with stains and water popping and practiced a few different finish applications. “All in all, I think this was a good group and I think we all learned something new over the last couple of days,” said Blakeman.
Blake Stevens has been offering their “sand and finish school” for the past ten years and encourages those new to the industry as well as veterans to sharpen their skills by attending this event. Each school has been a success and they hope to continue the schools in years to come.
