Ross,
Provocative photo. I meant to ask this before when you posted it, but could you or anyone else give opinions about:
1/After glassing is there any difference in appearance betw sanded areas and scraped areas? What difference? If you scrape, should you scrape everywhere for consistent appearance?
2/Upon glassing is there less glass adherence to scraped areas than to sanded areas? After leveling tough areas by scraping should they be scuffed up?
thanks
