Polyester Ripples

[robert sadowski]

Jeff,
    I would make one additional suggestion on this.  If you use a rubber
sanding block, they have a tendency to conform to the undulations in any
surface.  I put a hard material between the sandpaper and the rubber block
to make it more rigid.  I discovered that the stiff cardboard inserts that
come in the envelopes from my bank when I reorder deposit slips, etc. are
the exact size of my 4 X 8 electric sander.  This makes an ideal backing to
put between the felt pad that comes on the sander and your sandpaper.

Good Luck,
