my opinions on the sanding so far...it is tough to use a board for the sanding
a round sanding block is necessary, and hard and soft block as well the touch method works well as well as a guide coat but blocking a semigloss primer is great as well, the low spots shine out and blowing of the dust every now and again reveals the lows and you just keep blocking out the highs until the lows are "flat" depending on how low you are you can shoot a guide and check it again....by blocking it off plus i have 2 500 watt lights, which really help highlighting ...................... i am determined to do this without the help of a pro i think the whole idea of hotrodding is to do as much as you possibly can yourself or with the help of other like minded individuals...like Dan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) and the rest of you guys |

Anytime you have a radius you should use a round block. Using a hard edge block will actually cut grooves into the bondo/primer as you move across it. Sand in a criss cross pattern,ALWAYS guide coat, keep the panel clean so you can keep an eye on your guide coat, and re guide coat if you have any doubts. Run your hand lengthwise ( fingers to heel ) not cross ways, to feel the panel, also slide your hand in long strokes, short strokes will not do you much good. |
