: Looking for some insite, I am in the glassing stage of my Great Auk
: Double. I am having a heck of a time sanding the inside curves
: of the hull. What is the best way to smooth in there? I have
: been hand sanding the curve since the ROS will not conform to
: it. Quarter the way done, and a loooooooong way to go. Thanks
: for any suggestions.

Foam contour sanding pad for ROS. Might have to hunt around for one but they'll do most of it, there's always some places it won't reach and has to be done by hand. Body shop supply houses carry the foam pads, seen them up to around 2" thick. In some areas have to look in the phone book, something like "body shop supply" or something like that.
