Happily sanding along, got a piece of twine inside the sander now sander seems to be very unhappy.
It was a porter cable from a big box store.

Suggestion for the next one????? I am going to be doing the sanding following the glassing of the exterior of the boat. Rather have a tool that lasts but can't really afford the top line German make(s).

Hope I don't kill the next one. Anyone have any experience repairing a ROS. Repair seems to have dropped out of the typical vocabulary.

If I can stop making mistakes I will eventually get this kayak onto the water.
Then I can tackle learning to do the second half of all those rolls.
