By centering the auxiliary disc on my sander’s hook-and-loop pad
and using self-stick sandpaper sheets, I was able to reach into almost all
of the concave surfaces on the inside of the hull. Smaller discs or softer
foams would likely extend the sander’s reach to even tighter curves.
Take care in accurately cutting the foam disc and centering it on
the sander pad. Any imbalances could result in increased vibration at
high speeds, which would be transmitted directly to the user’s hands
and arms.

Rubber Fingertips for Sanding
R
UBBER FINGERTIPS,AVAILABLE INseveral sizes at office supply
stores, are ideal finger protectors when a project requires hand-
sanding. In addition to saving skin, they help the sandpaper last longer
and prevent oily fingerprints on light-colored woods.
