Prodigal sander

Armed with a new pack of sandpaper, and (finally) some free time, I was able to return to the final stretch of sanding last night. The starboard exterior of the hull was all that remained to be done, so I 120-gritted my teeth and got down to the job at hand. Apart from a few nasty spots of ugly epoxy drips, this side of the boat was already in pretty good shape. It got a rough going -over with the belt sander, followed by the orbital sander with 120-grit paper. One more session with some 220-grit, and I will finally be able to start masking and priming the bottom. It is so good to get back to boat building! Total hours 84.50.

It is no mystery that there are in excess of a modest bunch of fluctuating sandpapers and corn meal to look over when your getting ready for a task. Remove the mystery from your sanding background and find how to know precisely which sandpaper you requirement for each job that needs to be done. Click Here
