At some point you have to use discretion when doing any of this. Every aspect of this trade is just one small step redoing everything.

cleared the roof yesterday. will sand and reclear with a different gun.
I would say 100% yes...There are Guys out there that do not use any wool pads...For foam, 1500 scratches will be an issue..I would at least go to 2500 min, or what many folks on here do...3000, 8000..There are many, many types of pads..Go on "detailedimage" website and insert "pads" in search boxNow bare with me as I'm just speaking out loud here but, after re-reading all the replies on taping, not taping edges. I was thinking, if you're using tape, or not, we know to stay away from the edges when buffing with a wool pad. Couldn't one use a foam pad to blend in the edges vs a wool pad that's used for buffing the panel?
It seems to me the foam pad would be less aggressive and should have no problem getting out 1500 grit sanding marks on edges?

That’s what I do- I start with 1500 and finish with 2000. I run a foam pad at a slow speed and concentrate on not running it off the edgeNow bare with me as I'm just speaking out loud here but, after re-reading all the replies on taping, not taping edges.

I only use foam and it will not come close to removing 1500. If you’re buffing an edge you need to be buffing off the edge and your adjacent panel needs to be taped up.Now bare with me as I'm just speaking out loud here but, after re-reading all the replies on taping, not taping edges.
