Ain't it lovely when you use the correct tool

: I bought a cabinet scraper the other day, and just started using it this
: morning and it works unbelievably. Feathers the edges of the fiberglass
: tape and takes down drips wonderfully.

Ain't it just lovely how easily things go when you use the correct tool.

In a few days, if the temperature comes up and your resin has hardened some more, you'll be able to use a fine grade of sandpaper on a sanding block to finish up. After you've smoothed everything by hand with the scrapers, it won't take too much effort to do your last bit of sanding by hand. You'll keep down the dust, which you don't want to breathe.
