    Yeah, tubs, that is VERY nice! Going back to the Mark 25 for a minute, I have done a few of those covers. For what ever reason, when you sand them with a hard block, you will find that the paper doesn’t even come close to touching the surface in some places. It’s like the surface has warped over the years. I save myself a great deal of time by sanding it flat with 80 grit on a belt sander, as the first step, then progress by hand, from there.

    Long live American manufacturing!
