Step Two: Coarse Filling

You must be extra cautious in this step or you may destroy your structure. When you take a piece of sandpaper and start grinding on your composite structure it’s like using acid to clean a metal wing Spar. It must be done carefully.

Do not try to use a sanding block or spline on these areas.

Don't use a hard sanding block!
