You can avoid this tendency by making custom sanding blocks. Vary the = size according to the job. Small narrow ones for beveled lid edges, = narrow case areas and cheeks. It even matters the kind of material you = put on the block. Most piano shops use some kind of hard felt. This is = good for sanding flat areas, but you get better results if you use mouse = pad material for edge sanding blocks. THe softer, more compliant rubber = makes for less tendency to rub through the edges. If you shape the wood part of the block that fits into your hand, it = will be more comfortable and, again, reduce the tendency to rub through = the edges. As for vertical lid edges, I've noticed it's common to neglect to sand = them as thoroughly as the lid. Perhaps it's an unconscious avoidance of = using folded up pieces of sandpaper held be the force of the fingers, a = very uncomfortable position. A custom made, very narrow profile sanding = block might solve this problem. Arthur Grudko PianoLac ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
