Thread: Scale stock too thick

Even when you cut blanks down yourself it is usual to leave a little material to sand away any striations, etc from the cut and to gradually refine the grits to make it shiny.

I would treat it like that - double-sided tape holding the blanks side-by-side on a flat bit of wood passed over your belt sander. Coarse grit to start with of course, and a face mask - it's going to get dusty and smelly!

Ideally, a decent rasp to even out the sanding and making sure the blanks were square from end to end would be nice.
