dont have a big compresser looking to see if there is such a electric long board for body work if so please let me know and does someone want to sell it????
Sharp sandpaper on a flat piece of hardwood is what I use to block-sand a car. That will give you better control than any power tool. Always work in a crosshatch pattern, and never press down with more than a few ounces of pressure. Dave http://www.roadsters.com/
Yeah, I got one, I've been thinking of selling it too, because the damn thing runs too fast! as soon as I grab the rear handle, it takes off
I use premium filler, and don't let it harden all the way before sanding. My air file has been sitting in the bottom of the tool box for years.
If you haven't done "a lot" of body work don't get one even if you can find one and forget the air one also. You will create more work for yourself by using one and taking too much off time and time again. Buy the electic one above and cut the cord off of it . Put some 40 grit paper on it and you can cut (notice I didn't say sand) fresh filler plenty fast. Get it close then finish with 80 grit. Your high build primer will fill the 80 sand scratches. The same thing with a D/A sander. Don't use one. Body work takes a lot of feel and someone that does it every day can use these power tools and know when to quit and how to use them. For the rest of us they just create more work. I have some tips that I have picked up: HERE c ya, Sum
great web page, thanks for sharing! Reading thru it, you seem to have learned how to do this stuff just about exactly the same as I have.
