I didn't have a sanding block that would fit down in the recessed areas of the bed floor. I scrounged up a house paint stir stick that's wider than the ones you get at the auto paint store. Used the belt sander to take off just a little bit to where it fits the groove just right. It's stiff enough to work the filler down flat. Only drawback is that you need to wear gloves or it will quickly rub the hide right off your fingers.
