What is the benefit of using a sanding block during pin striping removal?

Using a sanding block during pin striping removal is advantageous because it ensures even pressure while removing material. When using a sanding block, the flat surface allows for consistent contact across the area being sanded. This uniform pressure helps to prevent uneven spots or damage, which can occur if only fingers or irregular surfaces are used to apply pressure.

Moreover, applying even pressure is crucial in achieving a smooth finish and an effective removal process without gouging or creating low spots in the underlying surface. The ability to control the sanding process more effectively with a block leads to a better overall result, essential in automotive refinishing where aesthetics are paramount.

While there are other benefits associated with sanding blocks, such as potentially reducing dust or protecting surrounding areas, the primary advantage lies in the even pressure that aids in controlling the sanding technique and result.
