Roks82 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2019 Hello comrades! I have some questions for you which hope you can answer and perhaps help some of us newbies: - After finishing the planking what is your fairing procedure? - Which sandpaper’s grits do you use? Are you using files too? - How do you protect the keel/stem/sternpost from being scratched? - Any tips for fairing tight corners? Thanks in advance!

druxey Posted October 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2019 Flexible sanding sticks are a good idea, Roks. Depending on how rough the surface is, you might start with 100 grit. However, unless you need to remove a lot of material (I hope that's not the case!) start with 150 grit, then 220 and, if you feel the need, 400 grit to finish. Files are not a good idea here. For protection of the parts you don't want to damage, masking tape is good. Sanding sticks will get into corners for you. mtaylor and paulsutcliffe 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
