What are you guys blocking your poly spray with? I typically use 80 on the longest board I can get away with..I hear some guys use an airboard, random orbital board? How well do they work as apposed to doing it by hand?
 
I never get as good of results using airtools. They work fine for production work but for me the best results are always done by hand- more control. The length of the block is dictated by the the size of area you're blocking and the shape. Grit selection is determined by how much material needs to come off-what stage of blocking you're in. 80 on the longest board you can get away with is a good rule to follow for the first cut. JMO
 
air is good for roughing in. hand for fine finishing prep work.....
