guide coat won't tell you much on that, soft blocks won't help much, but
1-2" round blocks will with a // \\ sand stroke. You can use tape to get
that transition line into the quarter.Just run a round block along the tape
but don't do too long you'll create grooves, then // \\, last do // \\ with
no tape to smooth it in. Use guide coat and hand feel. Rub your hands real
fast over it with your eyes closed and feel right under your knuckels under
your fingers
It would be so easy to help if I was there to show you lol. I"m not good
with words but you have some good advice already. I usually take a soft
block and fold it in half, and sand with the fold. Like I said, It would be
easy if I could show you lol. I wouldn't mess around with a tape line.get
the shape right with 80 grit. Sometimes I'll take spray guide coat or bomb
can primer to spray it so I can see how its looking.
@gregmporter Thanks for getting me mentally prepared for 2 more sessions of
primer! Kind of takes the pressure off when you think about it that way.
Very good suggestion sir, on the hose. I think I will use a tig welding rod
instead, so it holds the shape, then transfer to paper. Agreed on starting
with courser grit... Thanks Dr. Porter! Hope you are well....
Wish I could offer something helpful but I've only done this one time and I
did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! This is exactly the area
I had the most difficulty with on my Iroc. All I can say is I just kept at
it and eventually got it right. I wish my priming came out as nice as
yours! Good luck - you're almost there!
Saw Milo use a great trick this week, he rolled up a sheet of fine grit
paper into a thick sturdy tube, (so it was like a sand paper cigar)....then
used it to sand in a curve ...he rolled a whole sheet so that it was firm
enough not to deform much when he leaned on it under sanding pressure.....
might work buddy..!
Here's how I usually shape those: get some insulation that goes around your
waterlines for the house (the one with the double sided tape) They sell it
in a variety of diameters for just pennies, get the size you need, roll
some sandpaper around it and you're set to go.
@slowsrt We are practically neighbors, so come on over, LOL! Good thought
on folding the soft block. Kind of like making a half a peanut butter
sandwich? OK, yea, good suggestion on spraying some bomb can primer to get
the look of it. Will pickup a can... Thanks Matt!
@ncautoman57 OK that's a thought. My issue is that once I cut the surface
fo the primer, I can't tell if the wavyness is still there. ONly on a fresh
prime does it visibly show up. Thanks for the comment!
Dura block has a nice round flexible block or take a red scuff pad, roll it
up tight and tape it with 2' tape. Makes a nice block that works good for
areas like that. The guide coat idea is great.
garden hose or fuel hose. Bend it to shape and put paper on it. You may
need to start with coarse grit to shape it. Just plan on priming that
section 2 more times. You are right to fix it now.
You got plenty of good suggestions in the comments gary. I just want to say
your right to tackle this now cause if you dont u will regret it later on.
Good job i am always watchin.
@zz3astro LOL, and here I thought you were a real pro tuner! but its all
because you stayed a holiday inn express. Oh yes, we will keep after it!
Thanks for the support...
Interesting topic, good question and very different and interesting
replies, loving the vid as much as reading the comments! youtube garage
gang at it's best!
