: 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...

: AE

I'll just say, you're much more brave than me :)

Whole bunch of years of having electrical safety drummed into my head means I never mix electricity and water. Work in engineering long enough and the safety rules take their toll .
