I want to create the "Best Sanding Blocks Ever"

MJM said:
I've watched some of his videos. Though accomplished at what he does, he doesn't know it all, or refuses to see what modern technology has brought to the table. I watched one video where he went on a lunatic rant about epoxy. How epoxy isn't meant to be sanded, and how lousy it sands. Obviously he has heard or tried SPI epoxy.

I was surprised to see the video about Black Diamond blocks. I watched it a day or 2two ago.

to his defense most epoxies aren't sandable or well at least don't sand well. The only epoxy I have ever used that is somewhat sandable/buildable like SPI would be the PPG LV line. I remember when he used to trash on poly primers, but now he uses them more and more. Sometimes it just takes a min for people to come around. He has his methods and I doubt he will change much, and honestly I don't know if SPI epoxy would be a good fit for him. It can be a sensitive material and when spraying it with a heavy hand it can get away from you easily.
 
I am curious to know how many block sets that video will sell. He did a great review on the blocks.
Not quite Vince from Sham Wow but I believe it will be effective.

Ya, over the years I just tuned out when he would constantly yell and bitch about customers. It was funny early on when he would bitch about employees that would come and go, but then it was just constant and I really believe that is why his sub count is lower than it really should be for a channel that does deliver a lot of information. The dude is a hard worker without a doubt and honestly deserves more, but again his attitude just pushes a lot of people away.

Now his new thing with the tool reviews, I think he is onto something with that. He just needs to stay calm and keep it honest.

Although his one review on this certain $20 primer gun was completely wrong. I knew it was wrong, but for $20 I just had to prove it to myself, lol.

He rant and raved about this gun and poly primer. I knew it was a terrible idea, but for $20, why not, lol.

Thanks for taking one for the team. I almost bought one of those guns to try because of his recommendation.

I'm glad I waited for your review :)

Alright I finally used the black diamond blocks. I was waiting til I get my car in feather fill until I used them....kind of like thinking about dessert while cooking dinner.....but then today I thought, u know if these are THEE best sanding blocks, then what am I waiting for??...I put 2hrs of filler work on the trunk of my 60 chevy...and right away I knew these blocks were nice. It just glides and cuts. Not near as much pressure as I'm used to with durablocks. Then I tried the smaller one and I was playing around with the rods testing and I was working and a rod fell out....and I though. Hmm.....then I noticed the center hole is bigger than the rest and I must admit the first thought that came to my mind was this Chinese crap....then I said well before I go on a rant let me look at the rods. And sure enough, one rod is bigger than the others for the center hole in the block...then I thought that Dean Jenkins guy, he's Alright. Tomorrow I plan to put a solid 8hrs on my car using the blocks. These blocks are so nice it almost makes me want to dump another 70 grand in a pile of scrap metal
