Fixing laquer runs

[mattjk]

Got a few sags and runs on my wheel whats the best way to go about sorting it ei what grade wet and dry? I was thinking start with 800-1000 then work my way to 1500 then polish i dunno though

don't use 800. Don't go any lower than 1200 and use plenty of soapy water.

Hmm okay thanks there is one inparticular that is gunna be fun. Its really awkward doing wheels without a few sags because of the dodgy angles etc...

try and use some sort of block with your wet and dry too

Okay how come? Is this so that just the overlapping runs are sheered off rather than all of it?

yep, you want to remove the runs and as little of the surrounding laquer as possible, block will take the 'peaks' off. loads of water and keep moving the paper. be gentle, as if you were making love to a 14 year old.
