What have you done for Canada but prove that you are a whiney little self

There's goes another one right down the chute.

Oh well.... :)

If you know what you are doing with it, you can use very very very fine
grit sandpaper to dress gelcoat. Or, with the right kind of sandpaper
and belt sander, sharpen a knife, though I prefer ceramic sharpening sticks.

If you have a supply of old-fashioned "sandpaper" and wish you had read this
thread before you bought all of it...then you can greatly extend that
sandpaper's useful life by putting duct tape on the back of the paper. It
thickens the subsurface. RichG

I found something like a liquid jewelers rouge by 3M that works like a
champ. It's not as harsh as a rubbing compound and you tend to use a
lot of it, but talk about touching up gellcoat - great job.

I'm a wet stone and barber's strap kind of guy when I sharpen my
knifes. And of course, this is evidenced by the number of times my
wife has taken me to the ER for deep cuts from overly sharpened
knifes.

Take care.

Neat tip - I'll try that this winter.
