Wreck:

I'm about to start assembling my first project of expensive veneer
plywood, which happens to be SWMBO's Christmas present. I don't skydive
so I have to get my thrills somehow.

Anyway, what about sanding?

Everything I've built so far has either been inexpensive Borg veneer or
wood at least a dozen sanding mistakes thick. At roughtly 4x the
price/sheet, plus time to reorder, I'm nervous.

I've been careful and managed to avoid any expensive mistakes *knocks
wood* How do I sand this stuff?

gently.



I plan to hand sand. Start at 120 or 150? 180? Sand to 220? Don't
sand at all?

start with a grit finer than you think you need. if that doesn't get
it, drop back to the coarser grit for just as little as you can to get
it sanded.



Thanks
