In Response To: Power Sanders belt vs ROM *Pic* (Ben Staley)

I wasn't gonna tell anyone this, because I knew it was way out there, but I used a belt sander on my Guillemot, however, I only used 80 grit and didn't change the belt but once. I used some pine for accents here and there and mostly on the bow, so it was a bear to fair.

I kept the sander moving and didn't apply much pressure, just enough to control it. Also, didn't use it on the round deck, just the bow and flat bottom portion.

For the best job, the fairing boards are the answer, but most work. I tried to use the belt sander as sort of a small fairing board.
