OTOH, if I refuse to ever cross the road for fear of getting hurt, I limit myself to my own city block. Seems a little bit confining.

I understand the issue of using this technique and will take precautions to prevent sanding through the outer layer. In essence, I've looked both ways and am now crossing the street. See ya later.

: If you walk across the road without looking both ways, that’s your business,
: but if you tell kids it’s okay to do, that’s something else.

: This is just a bad path to start down. The potential is there for a failure
: especially if used by a novice. There will always be a step down of resin
: at the edge that you will want to level by sanding.

: One of my pet peeves is the passing on of bad techniques like this.

: No I’ve not had a failure using that technique, I never used it on a hull
: exterior. I don’t need to make every mistake in the book before I can spot
: a bad idea.
