If you're using a bar sander, how do you keep the end of it from digging into your wing skin? Are you doing all of this post-glassing? Thanks for doing the video, and thanks in advance for your answers.
Shaun, I do glass the wings/fins first before sanding against them. this gives a nice rigid base. I've not found the edge of the sanding block wanting to dig into the skin, but most of the sanding attention is given to the area where filler is applied first.
