Gel coat removal - water sanding vs. straight line sanding

"shkdriver" wrote

Hello,
Having refinished only a shk which is primarily wood construction with
fiberglass cockpit and leading edges, IMHO if you decide to purchase a
pneumatic (air) driven sander, dual action orbital or "air file" there
is a world of difference between quality tools and Harbor freight cheap
imports.
I recomend Hutchins brand tools, powerful, smooth action, and easy on
air demand. also you can use a water flood with air tools.

I can only agree with the comment to buy quality air tools, made by any of a
number of manufacturers. The difference in air consumption between a cheap
one and a better one doing the same amount of work can easily be twice as
much air being consumed by the cheap one. No kidding.
