keep some #320-gnt wet-or-dry sandpaper handy for finish

Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are made from
lightweight extruded aluminum and can be found at most
hobby shops They are available in two sizes - 11"
(GPMR6170) for most general purpose sanding and 22"
(GPMR6172) for long surfaces such as wing leading edges
We recommend using the 2" wide self-adhesive sandpaper
sold in 12" rolls by Great Planes Standard sandpaper can
be attached by gluing it to the sander with brush-on rubber
cement Apply the rubber cement to both the bottom of the
sander and the back of the sandpaper When both surfaces
are dry to the touch, press the sandpaper firmly onto the
sander Spray adhesive can be used for this purpose but it's
much harder to remove the sandpaper when you need to
replace it Use a knife blade for cutting sandpaper, not your
good scissors'
