: That sent shivers up my spine when I read it as well. Please say
: it's a pneumatic sander...

Nope, electric. I have done quite a few hours of sanding without a problem.

I don't see any reason to expect unreasonable risk. I apply water to the kayak, not the sander, so the water is on the sanding base not the body of the sander. The body of the sander is plastic, and the electric circuit inside it is double insulated. None of the water gets anywhere near the upper inside part of the motor assembly where the armature, brushes, and switch contacts are. Also, I am not grounded, my feet are dry, in rubber sandals, and I am standing on a dry indoor concrete floor. And I am wearing nitrile gloves. I doubt that the likelihood of a problem is much different than doing similar work with sweaty hands but a dry sanding pad. But perhaps I am missing something, and have just been lucky...
