The sanding spline is a finishing tool common to the sailplane
industry. It is an easy tool to make and does an excellent job of
contouring. You may find it handy to make two, one for coarse grit
sandpaper and one for medium or fine sanding. The spline is an easy
tool to use but it may require your close attention at first. The
spline is always held with handles parallel to the leading edge of an
airfoil surface (wing, canard, etc.) as shown in the sketch. The
sanding motion is on a diagonal to the leading edge while the
spline's handles are held parallel. This takes a little getting used
to but becomes second nature after a little practice.
