He wants to know a source for Mirka Abranet. The stuff is woven and allows suction to pull fairing compounds into the trash can/vac instead of all over the longboard operator.

I (obviously) didn't know that. I use the Abranet discs and it's great stuff, I think getting the dust picked up faster seems to make it last longer.

I am something of a nit Hank. So, please laugh at me here!

At double the price, does it last twice as long? Not being a nit, just curious!

Here is another source. https://woodworker.com/search.html?sear ... archmode=2 I use www.woodworker.com for a lot of my woodworker and sanding supplies. If the Mirka discs are not what you are looking for they have many other sanding disks and rolls and will custom cut to your requirements. I use there 6" 8 hole Super Gold for normal sanding. I used this https://woodworker.com/4-12x10yds-120-g ... 76-106.asp for fairing board just made them 4.5 x 30 and cut the sanding paper off the roll as needed.

Yeah, I was looking for the 4.5" x what ever roll length. As far as the discs go, I've been using the shopsmith 6" discs from Lowe's. I bought the gator power discs, because they were cheap for a 50 pack. Each disc only lasted a minute or so. The shopsmith lasted a lot longer. Are the mirkas that much more superior? I also used a net style disc and liked it, but the smallest available at the store was 100 grit.

Supergrit.com they have pretty much anything you need.

FluidDynamic, were you and your family anywhere close to those horrible tornadoes? Jeff

[FluidDynamic]

We don't live near the area, but was driving through for vacation in the area where it happened. Missed us by a couple of miles. Got a few pics.

How do I handle this? It's less than 1/4". Should I fix it or should I leave it. It's symmetrical like this on both sides of boat. If I do fill it, can I use the blended mix or should it be a layer of fiberglass/ epoxy? It's only the first 5' of the front of the boat.there was a slight overlap of the bottom panel over the side panel that caused this.

From looking at this what you are looking at MIGHT not even be in the water when running. If that is the case it should not make any difference. But I am only guessing here the only answer that matters is what JM has to say.

[FluidDynamic]

That area will never be in the water. Is only the first 5'.
