    Just curious, what do you guy's use to lube your stilts? I hate noisey stilts, I've tried graphite, inox, silicon etc, but they start squeaking again after just one house sized job, I presume it's the sanding dust that dries them out.<br>(Surmag II's)<br>

    I do this all the time, but I figured out a little trick. Have your pole sander leaned up against a wall, and if you drop your sponge, grab your sander and put the paper side on the floor beside your sponge, nudge your sponge the back of the sander and balance it up, its quite easy to do it.:)

    You know the deal.... you walk into a house and you see the 9' ceilings and the first thing that comes to mind (at least for me) is cranked up high stilts in the 10' 6" or higher garage (hopefully it ain't loaded with trim). I tape with a bazooka and coat with a box but skim by hand. I don't...

    At first, I looked at them skywalkers like a dog at a new pan (i don't know if I want to eat out of this thing or not). The are HEAVY, and again, I thought, I use the S2 Mags cause they are light and the durastilts that I have been wearing since the 70's are killing my legs. But the skywalkers...
