No carry on, as the stuff I use is industrial and is not kind to skin,especially on youngsters, also if your doing it outside then definately not advisable

Re: Bodywork fun!
Start with an 80 grit to knock it back and do one section at a time. if you tackle it all its gets a bit depressing
. Try and get on freindly terms with your local motor factors as they tend to be alot cheaper than Halfrauds.
