Default RE: Foil question

Greg,
Yes, if you read the article it would look as though to match the two panels in a butt joint that would be one way of doing it. Just not my method. I use tape to outline the panel and then very carefully cut the panel I'm putting down to match that. No sanding needed.
As far as sanding the panels afterwards to give different effects, steel wool is all I use.
If you ask 10 different folks how they do something..........you will get 9 1/2 different answers.

Here is a couple of shots of my wing on a meister P-47.
