Sanding joints....I have been building wooden airplanes for over 40 years and using epoxy, including T88 for the last 30 and since begining the epoxy I have never sanded a joint. My joints are usually planed now but for years used a planer blade in my saw. Both with excellent results. I would suggest that sanding, unless all the dust is removed actually contaminates a joint. I might add that besides repairs and restorations I have built 7 airplanes, 2 of which were of my own design...bob pearce --- Russ Kendall <rkend...@bendbroadband.com> wrote:
