Marie, this is how to sand a kayak in Prudenesque fashion: (a) good music - usually jazz or some kind of energetic kiddie pop at moderate volume, (b) burn your favorite incense, something flowery or energizing, and (c) Guinness or something poured over ice on the side. I round out the aura by generally working in poor lighting but always in an area with good ventilation.

As far as everything else goes that you have stated, where have you been all my life? How are you at getting that stinky odor out of neo booties and gloves?

Hee! Hee!
