Deepblue, please don't take my post an contradicting or confrontational. In no way am I implying that. I was merely suggesting how to remove the usual waviness when doing large area prep for painting. I know hand sanding is tiresome, but I also know how to flatten a panel to remove those waves. It took me many log sanding experiences to understand that technique. I actually like your input on these threads. But like you stated, to each there own. The OP can pick his method knowing the different ways to prep the hull. eace:

Yes WOG I have a few and they are great to rough in initial fillers and such. But for actual long block sanding, those straight line sanders will leave a line in the fillers really quickly, if you don't watch what you are doing. I actually made a couple of block sanders with really good results. The length really depends on what you are block sanding. JMHO!

So will the hand sanders if you don't watch what you are doing!!!!:lol:

Not at all gm, I did not not take this way at all. I just wanted to explain that I am aware of the benefits of long blocking and I am not accusing anyone who is using it by being hand sanding fanatic. I enjoy debating some issues with you and WoG but unfortunately, text based communication channels are very limited in bandwidth so they leave a lot open for interpretations. Can't complain, few decades ago, we would have been writing letters.

I am also aware that I am very passionate about the subject and this can be easily misconstrued; but in reality, I have a lot of respect to the members? input here and you and WoG are on top of this list.
