good work - I've been trying to do some by hand before sending em away to be built up, might have a go with a sander once I get em back

is it easy to do ???
i,ve got some red araya's that could do with the worn sides cleaned up like that :daumenhoch:

Yes it's very easy bud , i start with p180 grit then p240 then p400 on an air sander then wet flat with a block using 800 then 1000 then 1500 then finish off with 2000 super fine after all that i gently clamp in the vice using some cloths too , i then use g3 compond and a buffer and if you don't rush the finish will be like a mirror :smitten: :smitten:
I probably got a bit carried away but the finished result is well worth the effort :daumenhoch:
