How do you secure the sandpaper to the square block? At this point it looks like everything is being worked dry. I've always wet sanded as the fines flush out and don't clog the paper.
My mediocre skills passed form my grandad through my dad whose garage did minor body work as well in the fifties. He didn't work on Corvettes and dispised European cars of any sort (He was a GM man).
Gray, …we haven’t got to the wet sand part yet, this is all done dry till the finishing steps…I just wrap the paper around the block. To prevent clogging, occasionally tap the block with the flat edge of a screwdriver….doing the initial blocking dry let’s you find highs and lows faster. Doing wet sanding right off the bat obscures those spots and may mislead you ….but, if your methods work for you, that’s fine,…this is just a demo on how I do it, and maybe y’all can pick up a trick or two?..
