: You asked, Sanding is Skill Free?

: Yes!

: If you hold a ROS with the 60 grit disk flat against the strips the sander
: will follow the fair curves of the hull.

: Little to no skill involved.

This will, i suppose, only be valid if you don't have that near-perfect surface, that even thickness strips will give ?

After my first stripper (built with even thickness strips) , I swore that 60 grit should never touch the surface of any kayak i ever built. ROS'ing with 60 grit made "too many" visible marks for my taste, so i switched to 100-120 grit :-)

Anyways, the ROS is a great tool that i - too - cannot recommend highly enough.
