Sanding
I just got my sanding paper in the mail today. How many minutes per section does it take. i sanded it for a minute or two and its really soft. Does it require more sanding?

Re: Sanding
You could try to be more specific ? what are you trying to do ?

There is no "rub for 5 minutes" rule in modelling

Re: Sanding
utually, if it look soft to the eyes and to the touch, you can primer it. After primer, you will see if everything was ok

The awnser is no, but I do glue mirrors and bumper before painting. It just so easyer to remove extra glue (if any) before painting than after.
