: this sounds strange (and probably is) but how about a toy football
: with sandpaper cut to shape and glued to it?

The only problem is that a toy is too squishy to get good pressure. I suppose a junior sized real football would work. My hand is too small for a full sized ball.

By the way, what was the thickness of the board used on the sanding board and what kind of wood was it made of? I was trying to understand how much flex worked on a kayak shape.
