Title: Removal of Tiny Imperfections
Post by: Howard Rush on March 05, 2024, 07:11:30 PM
I was shopping for sanding disks on Amazon. Check out Powertec 9" disks: "80 grit - for removing tiny imperfections".  If tiny imperfections are keeping you off the front row, these disks could be just the ticket.

if you stick them to your handle, will they remove the tiny imperfections in your flying?

Golly, Bill. You’re right.  I was missing the big picture.  Imperfection is universal.  To extrapolate, maybe 60-grit could take care of Putin or Hamas.  Maybe that’s why my wife is walking toward me with 40-grit stuck to her hands.

Something doesn't add up. You're suggesting that Putin could be "rubbed out" with 60 grit, but you certainly can't rub out your new stunter with 60 grit!

  You know, it all depends on what you are working on. I have done some stuff where a 60 grit disc would be used last to remove tiny imperfections back in my day as a the lead welder in a local machine shop. 100 to 120 grit for really polishing things! Stuff that was several inches thick and needed a 20 ton crane to lift and move !!It was fun when I was young, just what I wanted to be doing!!  I think some of it would kill me now!! But I would do it all again if given the chance.
