Many thanks for all the advice on such a tedious but important job in the 
build process. 
I'm the process of finding or building the "long Broads " for sanding now.  
It appears that the 3m Hookit boards in various lengths will be just the ticket.
Hookit boards are 2.3/4 wide and come in lengths of 5" 7" and 16". They have 
hook and loop fasteners to hold the paper in place. About $60 US for all three

on Ebay and various online body shop suppliers.  The sandpaper is a bit 
expensive. But is 3m quality stuff. 

One More Thing...

In the archives there is reference to a "Fishing Line Technique" for laying 
on the filler. However I can find no explanation of exactly what it is or how 
it works.  Can anyone help? 

Thanks again guys.
