learn How to fine sand a surfboard shaping tips PaulCarter 2/3

Fine sanding a new hand shaped surfboard.

Some simple tips from a rough shape to a fine sanded completed surfboard. 

I use 60 grit first with a flat block for the blending and smoothing out the lines on on the bottom and the deck.  Next I will use the 1 inch foam block with 60 grit to blend the deck to the rails.  Last I use 80 grit for the fine sanding.

These are standard sized sand paper with a balsa block cut to your hand size.  You can use any type of wood, I like a lighter wood such as balsa. 

I have 3 sanding blocks, one with flat no foam and one with half inch and one with 1inch foam, I mainly use the flat and 1inch foam.

Above is a nice example of a fine sanded surfboard. 

Thanks for checking out my blog journal,   let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Keep creating and enjoy the process.

Learn how to abstract paint a surfboard by Paul Carter 

A recently hand shaped surfboard down to the abstract painting.  Be sure to practice on canvas or wood to get a feel for what your after.  I use acrylic paint which is important for the foam and Glassing, oil paints will not work with Glassing.

Have fun with the process and don't be to critical on yourself.
