Sounds like everyone has a workout ahead of them. Can't wait to see the documentation.

For the TV show we sanded and buffed the top cap and it came out really nice. After compounding and polishing there's still some orange peel leftover so we're going to re-sand and buff.

We didn't touch the hull so lots of sanding to do on the hull.

The Rupes TA50 really comes in handy for getting into the corners of the insets as the larger sanding discs are just too big.

Everyone will get lots of hands-on time both block sanding by hand and machine sanding plus compounding and polishing with the new Captain's One-Step Compound Polish.

Action starts at 2:00pm today...
