[alberg30] Cabin overhead and locker interiors

[Alan P. Kefauver]

You are really asking for trouble with a sandblaster. Sand everywhere, and if the pressure isn't just right, it will cut fiberglass like butter. The Porter Cable Paint remover is the way to go if you are going to spend the money. On the other hand, the inexpensive flap wheel sanders you see in WW catalogs fit a drill motor and work well. A good flexible pad palm sander works too (Porter Cable or Dewalt).
