[QUOTE="jellywrestler, post: 14641, member: 129"] from memory the material is only 32 thou thick, its a patience game really, I started with 240 grade wet and dry, using soapy water and an orbital sander then progressed up to 2000 wet and dry and then autosol, took ages and often you may think you have all the marks out only to get them reappear as you get finer paper, the trick then is to know how far to go back to get them out. Drawing lots of lines with a vivid marker will ensure you get an even coverage to Hey you're lucky its only the flap and easy to remember which part you've done, I did all three and it was a long long task, worth it though...
