Use a 1 metre long extruded aluminum veranda post for a sanding block. Attach the paper using double sided tape. The veranda post is 50mm wide square tube and very importantly has rounded corners so it doesn't grab or dig in during sanding. Always move the block at 45 degrees parallel to the spar. I was surprised how many high and low spots I found using this method. Hopefully at least the top surface will be ripple free when the paint job is complete. Chris Moore LNC2 90%
