![]() ![]() ![]() I only use longboards for all large compound curves. Then change the stroke direction by 90 degrees. Change the orientation of the longboard so that it lies flat (or as near to flat as possible) and sand at an angle of 45 degrees to the longest edge of the board. You are on the money with your idea of using different coloured layers, although I don't agree that a longboard will flat spot a compound curve. mark them, rough up and fill.īanjo, cool thread. go in 3 different directions, don't overdo it, low spots will not be sanded. Was a post onhere a few years ago about making one with 1/4 inch plywood? Again. A portable incandescent worklight held at a low angle in a dark room will also show low spots, move the light to different areas.Ī home made flexible sanding board will also aid in fairing, not too stiff like the commercail boards. Use your flattened hand in a front to back(not side to side) motion on the surface to detect low spots, close your eyes and you can feel them better. You need to find the right consistency so that it won't ride over the whole glob but just fill the lows. you may have to move around over and over till you get them all as only the mid sections will be fully faired. If you go 3 different directions with this method it should fill any low spots. I use aluminum rulers with fairing compound to fair. When I was in the autobody course at vo-tech we were instructed to use peices of sheet metal or wood strips of varing legnths/stiffness to fair surfaces. Read the back label of the fairing product. Is food coloring approved for mixing in with the fairing product? To advertise, take a look at WoodenBoat Advertising, or use your Google Adwords account if you want to advertise on the Forum.
