Michael_A Posted May 16, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2021 Hello all, I am at a key point in my Marblehead model but am having a crisis in confidence. I have epoxied on a bottom "plank" of 1/16" plywood and it is overhanging the side by about 1/16". I need to bring it flush to the sides without damaging the finish of the plywood side planking which is actually a bit sensitive. The finish is very smooth and hard but it scratches, chips, tears easily if handled too roughly. I can't mask the sides with tape because it lifts off the grain ... Is this just a long slow careful sanding job or is there something I am missing? The bottom is about 50" long and the corner in question is perfectly fair; and I"m wanting to keep it that way. The two photos show a general view and a closeup; hopefully this is enough to see what is going on. Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Green Posted May 16, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2021 Pretty simple - use a sanding block. Strokes must one-way, towards the hull, so as to not lift any grain off the surface. Careful to not strike the hull and reveal the second ply. mtaylor and davyboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
