RE: Foil question
Greg- thanks for the pointers. I have 320, 400, and 600 wet/dry sand paper. I didn't know about the dish soap but it makes sense to add a wetting agent. I'll give that a try when I find something large enough to practice on. I was just using the 3200-12000 sandpaper because i rubbed holes in the foil so quickly when using the 320. I'll find something relatively flat and smooth to apply the foil to and see how that goes for sanding.
k sonn- thanks for the video. I should have done a search for flite metal on youtube.
