hey guys, still working at 220 on this f*#(&^ red head, I really hope the difficulty of getting out the 100 grit scratches is evidence of really great steel. I have not ordered from widget supply yet so don't have any tiny flap wheels.

was sitting here thinking and said to myself, hey, the vibrating sander (little 3 or 4" square hand held thingy) takes any paper and has a corner that might work.

would that be a dangerous shortcut? am I liable to do more damage than good? should I just set it aside and wait for flap wheels, which then leaves lots of work from 600-2000.

I only went so coarse initially as there were a few dark spots I didn't like, they're gone and only two tiny areas I can see with now minor pits, but it's costing me now. in retrospect I could have lived with it.
