Thanks for the video. I am facing doing a restore of an older feathering prop. I was nervous about sanding. I guess with fine grit papers it will not throw off the blade balance. After all, branacles and such don't do it. First time I am doing this so a tutorial is welcome. And, hello from some Bailey's on the other side of the "pond".
Hello 👋 many thanks for your comments. Yeah, I was a little nervous about doing this so I started with fine grit wet and then realised I could use a slightly more aggressive paper and not do any damage. I took my time and didn't apply a lot of pressure and it came up really well. I'll be lifting the boat shortly so it will be interesting to see how that looks after a year in the water. Best of luck with your project and if you have any hints & tips after your restore lets us know 👍⛵️

Impressive! 👏
I guess there's still hope for my prop...
Thanks for your comments, I’m sure it will clean up 👍⛵️
