hello,

    thanks to people for taking the time to reply. the setting i chose
    may not be the easiest for first time finishing. it has 3 domes
    going across the length of the wide band (parallel with the band). i
    just got thinking that for a complete beginner getting a brush to
    not take to much metal of the top of the dome whilst at the same
    time sanding the recess could be a problem, or would the 3m brushes
    not take to much off the ridges? ive been looking at the cratex
    hand sanding sticks, both round & square, that i thought may conform
    well to the peice ? also the 3m sanding sponge. also, you mentioned
    dragging with the silicone rubber abrasives, is that always towards
    you so you dont put to much weight on ? 

thanks again
joel
