Sanded the BD with 60 grit.

Palm sander with dust collector hooked up to a small vac.

Pretty good outside.

Wet sanded with soap and water with 80.

Hosed down with water hose.

How did you clean your drums???? with a hose..Really????

24"x3.14=75.36"=6.28'

Lot of real estate on a 24 BD.

Check true and layout next.

Very nice !!

>> Lot of real estate on a 24 BD.

Truth there. Exactly why the 28" is "On Hold" :-). Concert bass drum stand that came with a 22" is a huge back saver. No good for putting bits back on but great for working on the outer shell.

Thanks for the update.

You are welcome sir.

Your TT Holder Parts Box should be showing up any day now.

This is getting good Scott! :-)

+1 I get so jealous every time I see a raw fiberglass shell!

I worry about you guys breathing that stuff when you sand. What kind of breathing gear do you wear? HEPA mask? I figure it has to be something heavy duty.

John, with a vacuum hose hooked up to a sander with holes in the pad and a dust collection feature on the sander, most of it goes in the vacuum.

I do it outside in the breeze.

Dust mask if needed.

Also, for the finer grits, wet sanding reduces all the dust to a liquid paste.

Nothing flying around in the air with soap and water.

Did you see the pic on post #28? We wore heavy duty masks, and Jerry had a nice vacuum dust collector hooked up to the sander. We were always careful to take every precaution.

I missed that one, (28) but I figured it had to be something heavy duty like that.

Not very exciting,but.......

I am getting closer to making these holes go away.

This color is a different animal.

The top hole in pic is getting closer.

Getting darn close Sir! Hope the Pearl holes blend as well.

Thanks for the update.
