I wrap the DS around a 2" diameter cylinder of minicell and duct tape the ends providing a fairly aggressive sander. In the years past I've used Surforms, disc sanders and even wire wheels. A cheap wire wheel on a drill motor can really chew through the foam! Even without the motor a wire wheel can gouge out a lot of material. Gotta be careful when you get 110 volts working with you tho! steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
