gunnel to deck transition? and cap or flush deck?
Been reading and re reading and seem to be missing something. I'm doing a scuppered inwale using the glue on block method. Being I'm sitting on the floor I choose to follow Mike's lead using cedar for the inner portion of the inner portion and ash on the outer portion of the inwale. So here lies the...

wet sanding with random oribtals?
Curiuos, I have the 5" dewalt. Looking through the old canoe craft it shows Ted wet sanding with an older style ROS, can it be done with the newer models? Can't find any literature on doing it, but I'm thinking you cant? I'd hate to ruin it as It's brand new. Or get zapped standing in water ;)
