Hi John,

 

What I like to use is a sanding block to bevel the edges of the bulkheads. I take on two frames at a time and sand in both directions. Check the bevel at each frame with a short length of plank that covers 3 or 4 bulkheads and make sure the plank makes complete contact with the edges of the bulkheads.

 

The sanding block I use is made by Xacto. I love it and have used it for many years for all kinds of sanding work. I use 80 or 100 grit sandpaper for this particular job. A dust mask is also a good idea...

 

Good luck. I hope this helped.
