I saw a Dremel Multipro Kit in HomeDepot and just couldn’t resist getting it. You and the others where right, my ding repair now looks like it was done by a Dentist. The tool is amazing, and not all that expensive, $49 (it came with a bunch of bits and little sanding drums.) I now look forward to see my Dentist and scrounging even more bits… … and the others where also right, it also comes in handy for precise (minimal damage) removal of air bubbles… amazing. Dremeled… Kevin
Kevin: Not sure what comes in the Kit you got, I’ve pieced mine together bit by bit. Recently I got a right angle adapter that fits the Dremel. Started out kind of pricey ($24.00) but over the last 6 months I suppose they didn’t sell well and I picked mine up at Walmart for $19.00. Using a couple of the cutoff wheels, I glued 60 and 80 grit on the faces and made a couple of lap grinding wheels that work well for tapering cloth patches or touching up laps. I wasn’t certain if this was posted earlier in your “flow dynamics” thread but I stumbled on it this morning while searching for info on my Farrelly V-bottom. Sorry if it is redundant. Some old 1969 data on surfboard drag hydrodynamics.

I was completely unaware of the Surfer Magazine articles. They’re pretty interesting, which makes my want to get a hold of the remaining articles. I’ve emailed the fellow who manages the site, also Surfer. If I get them I’ll post them, or ask Swaylock to archive them. Great stuff. The Multipro came with a lot of bits, but I just had to get an extra one - the 80 grit flapwheel. I have been using an 80 grid flapwheel with my drill to do laps; it allows for greater control over pressure, sort of the way a sanding disc does. It will chunk up with resin, but if you spin it against a wire brush every so often you can keep it clean. This new little micro flapwheel is disturbing, perfect for that bit of glass that refuses to behave. …still my new addiction will require me to investigate the angle attachment… … I can see it now - homeless, broke, eating out of dumpsters, but in my shopping cart a complete line of Dremel attachments… perhaps I should seek help before this becomes a problem.
