SUP Plug: Step #8

Taking it up to a polish.
After a bout of other work, I have been able to spend some time on the plug this week.
Our goal is to make a mold of the plug before Sunday.

This will be the first of at least two molds.
To get there, we need to sand up through the grits to about 1500 grit.
Yesterday, after a little more spot filling and sanding, we achieved the uniform shape we needed.
So today we gave the plug a even sanding with 120 grit paper then 220 paper.
Tomorrow we will do 320 grit dry then 320 grit wet.
Each finer pass we will do first dry then wet.
After we get to 1500 wet, we will use buffing compound and a wool pad to bring it up to a mirror finish.
