Sanding over scribed panel lines

Does it help to scribe recessed panel lines extra deep if it is necessary to sand over them? Pete


How much sanding are going to do? If you're removing rivets, do the panel line after sanding. Most adequately scribed lines shouldn't dissapear after minor sanding; clean them with a suede or tooth brush. hth

Do you mean pre-scribing? It's often a good idea, particularly where you expect to have to sand vigorously. If you go slowly, and start to see evidence that the panel lines in the sanding area are going to fade out, that might be the best time to deepen the scribe lines.
