Paint Class - Day 19

Today my partner Dan showed me how to apply a plastic filler (like bondo but made of different stuff) and sand it down to the right level. You use a tool called a cheesegrater, which looks just like a cheesgrater with no handles to shave off the excess plastic, and then sand down with 80 grit sandpaper and a longboard, and then 180 grit sandpaper with a longboard. Then we re-sprayed the corrosion protection to the area around the palstic where it had been sanded off. Then we were put on some one else project for a bit, because it was too cold to spray the primer. Then we cleaned for the last hour.
