Very nice work Eric! Do you use flexible sanding sponges to sand the fine contours?

Thank You,
I did today, I tried one on the keel after blocking with 80 and 120. I want to say it was 150 but I can't recall. It made the surface slick as goose poop.

Thank You Fuzz, It's only slick as 120 grit paper will go. After fairing everything with the 120 I plan to go to my 5" Random Orbital sander with 220 all over the boat. Just a light kiss to smooth it. I may go to a soft sponge block for this as I don't want to have any dig marks from the sander. One slip with the RO would cause a problem. I try to keep Murphy away with forward thinking.
