Abstract: A sanding apparatus includes a plurality of posts each having an upper end and a lower end. The plurality of posts is four posts. A first horizontal support extends between two of the posts and a second horizontal support extends between another two of the posts. The first and second horizontal supports are vertically adjustable with respect to the posts. A table is mounted to and extends between the first and second horizontal supports. A belt sander is amounted to the posts. The table is positioned between the lower end of the posts and the belt sander. The table is selectively movable upwardly towards or downwardly from the belt sander.

Abstract: A process for producing a laminate comprising a metal sheet having thermoplastic material on both sides thereof is described. The thermoplastic material is calendered to produce an upper thermoplastic sheet and a lower thermoplastic sheet. A metal sheet is fed into the nip between the calender rolls in order to contact the metal sheet simultaneously with the upper and lower thermoplastic sheets, thus producing a laminate. Processes for producing a pipe-wrapping material, a roofing structure and a solvent-welded joint are also provided.
