Gelcoat Sanding
i really mean spanwise, when i worked at schempp-hirth 6 years ago they always sanded spanwise for finish sanding. and i have been doing it that way at a nationally known glider refinishing company for 12 years.

Did you really mean spanwise and not chordwise??? When I worked at S-H, we NEVER sanded spanwise. It was either chordwise or alternating 45 degrees off chordwise. FWIW......
