Sanding The Bottom and the Transom

Today me and Taz have been sending the Bottom of the boat.
Before you start sanding make sure the table that your work is on is CLEAN! and no way to damage your work. 
In order to get an successful sanding you have to sand with the direction of the grain, other ways you would get scratch marks on you wood, also make sure you use a block of wood with an sand paper on it to keep it leveled and straight so there wont be any bumps. For eg: if your sanding with the sand paper in your hands( without block of wood) the gaps on your fingers would make it hard to get it leveled.

    A good comment on making sure that your bench surface is smooth and clean.
    What grit sandpaper did you use?
    Why did you chose this grit sandpaper?
    Have you taken any photos of you or one of the team sanding? can you insert the photo into this blog?

  2. we used 60-120 grit sand paper.
    the way we chose the paper was not to be 2 rough so it can leave scretch marks behind and dammage the work.

    and you also told us not to use under 60.

    Im sure we have photos of us sanding but there all on Taz's Camera i asked him to put onto an usb so i can put some on my blogg aswell
