Over the past 2 days, used the belt sander, orbital sander, sanding block, sanding drum on my drill,
surf-form, a couple files, and just plain old sand paper with my hands to smooth out the combing. Started off with 80 grit and worked up to 440 grit.
A few minutes with the shop vac to suck up the dust on the inside and outside of the boat - and there was gobs - I wiped down the area and double checked for any rough spots. Everything was smooth.
I put on a thin coat of resin to saturate the surface. It sure made the grain of the wood pop. My next step will be to take some of the fiberglass cloth, and wrap it around the combing. Enough for this weekend.
