I think because capping is mostly about sanding. ;D

Or so I've read.

Ahh i see lol ya it sucks but rub rails just dont work on my hull the corners on the transom have to bend all goofy and if i trie to do a strip across the transom then end the sides into that it looks like hell so im gonna have to deal with it lol

Ok there has to be a faster way...
So when we painted it i let my buddie sand it when i went to school and he dug a bunch of holes its not even close to being flat but we were short on time with the booth we used and painted it anyway so now heres my question.
Whats the fastest way to smooth out the deck ive been using a sanding block and have prolly 8 hrs into it and i got about a square foot kinda smooth is there any other method or is this just gonna take months?
