I have tried the power sanders previously on my first build. You will learn quick that on a KR the best way is to use elbow grease. A power sander will remove the primer and filler way too fast and you can very quickly cut into your fiberglass. Then you will be doing the job twice. Don’t be afraid to use your bare hand sliding across sanded surfaces. You will be amazed what you can feel that your eyes don’t see.
