Hi Mike & Steve,
A WORD OF CAUTION
Just remember that most car sprayers will be working on steel sheet and when
you hit that with a sander it is not the same as hitting soft composite!
The surface area of a power sander is also very small and it will be very
difficult/impossible to produce flat surfaces or regular curved surfaces.
Hand sanding is better and much safer.

Dear Mike
I used a small orbital palm sander from B&Q and this seemed to do the trick.
Be careful that you do not dig into the surface with any sander you use or
it will ruin your day.
I think I used the sander for cutting back the main filling but then hand
sanded after that. It gave more control and a better feel for the finish -
car sprayers use electric tools but then they are experienced with what they
are doing.
I am still waiting for my Permit which is why I am still grounded. Very
frustrating.
Regards
Steve
