:I have used a large diameter piece of PVC pipe with sandpaper glued on for sanding the inside of a kayak, but I would like something shaped more like a football to accomidate different curveature. Anyone know of an elegant solution for that? My application I used a full circular piece of pipe, but short. I thought of cutting it in half and trying to add handles, but the full piece of pipe allows me to rotate it to use as much of the paper as possible.

Anyone know of an elegant solution to sanding the inside of the hull?

: sometimes use a length of pvc pipe with sandpaper glued to it.
: Handles are attached and it is used by rotating while moving for
: and aft.
