Hi everyone, looking for some pointers on my next move.
This being my first board I am doing things never done before and learning a lot. First is that a Milwaukee sander will beat you up. Seriously I saw videos of people saying that it was rough but wow.
I am building the board for my son and want it to look somewhat ok, at least float a little.
My question is this, after my hot coat I wanted to do a pin line to cover my cut lap, but also wanted to sand down and bring back up for a gloss coat. I took it all the way down and a few gouge marks and sore muscles later the board looks so much worse than before. Did I take it to far? I am going to start going up in sand paper grade and smoothing it out though I am wondering if I went about this the wrong way to get to my desired finish.
Learning plenty so I am super happy with that.
Appreciate the community, thanks for any help.
