72CSTC5 Wrap your 1000 grit sandpaper over the paint stick several times. Break or cut the paint stick down to length so none of it is sticking out to scratch the paint and use that for your block. Small, and controlled block minimizing the area to sand. An awesome old painter taught me that years ago. I still show some painters today that work for me and are amazed that it works
Thanks! I worked on it on Sunday again, was able to bring it down almost flat. I used 600, worked fast on the area. Since I layed 3 coats of clear, i was not too concerned on burning thru. I followed with 1000, 1500 then 2000. I may shoot the panel later if I get around to it. Its still a bit noticable and is right in the line of view(s*cks). Probably mostly in my head, but hell I got all this paint equipment now and gotta use it!
