: Trying to picture the "duckass" sander. LMAO!

You should have received a note from AOL by now telling you how to get to some photos I posted. The cute blond is my then 10 year old. She's 12 now. Gotta get the 10ga. cleaned and oiled. When the photo was taken she had just finished a two hour stint with a D/A, a/k/a, an air powered auto body file, on the yak pictured. You can see that with 80 grit paper she was able to fair things out pretty well. As I recall I had her hooked up to a 1-1/2hp Bostitch compressor with five gallon tank capacity. She would have to stop every few minutes to let the compressor catch up. She was using the Coleman which isn't as efficient as the CP.

3M makes a replacement platten for body files that takes their PSA paper. The paper comes pre-cut in 35, 40 and 80 grits. They also have finer grits in PSA rolls. You can find these products at any good autobody supply.
