    Wonderful! Great tip to know. I know Paul Dalton always uses the Zephir with the green. I wonder how it works with the yellow. I'm going to have to pick it up and try.

    Rupes washer mod

    I believe he does sand it. Notice its round in the first pic, then it becomes more oval shaped in the next. He also has sand paper in the pic. Get a normal 3/16 and sand down the two sides.
