Last night I pulled out the belt sander and found that the belt I had left on it last time was too coarse, so I began to change it. When I removed the coarse belt, I saw that it was a 50 grit. Still reluctant to use the big-guns beltsander on the boat, I decided to give the fairing board one last shot with the 50 grit belt. I cut the belt and attached it to the fairing board, and lo and behold, it cut those darn evil strips! It will still take a while to complete, but at least I know it will work. I believe I'll get some 50 alum oxide disks for the ROS too. Between those two methods, I think I'll be able to do a pretty good job of fairing.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll keep you all posted on my progress. I should have something to report on Monday.
