Brad,

 

I’m working on a LIV-P.  I’ve spent some time working on the fuselage bottom to get it shaped and smoothed.  I’m interested in getting the Eastwood long boards as I know there’s still a long way to go to smooth the rest of the plane. (Not to mention building it!)  What grit sandpaper do you suggest I get with the boards?  Do I start with 60 grit on the long board then step down to 100 or 120 before primer?  Should I be shaped enough to start with 80 or 100 grit to start on with the long board?  Or do you even need to go to that fine with the long board?  I know a lot depends on what you are trying to accomplish, so I know a variety of grits may be best…but do you have any pointers?

 

By the way…I’ve seen your work.  It’s amazing.
