Another blocking question

I forgot this before, but would like to know what others are using for outside curves as a block. Even my small thin durablock doesn't have much flex in it. I'm thinking areas like the top and bottom of the front part of the fenders, around the top part of the tail lights, top and bottom corners of the cab rear wall, etc.

Re: Another blocking question

I have found that if you use the round Dura Block, or something like it, it can work well with the right technique. Instead of sanding straight down, start at the top and sand downward and outward toward either end of the fender. Use long strokes. A lot of the curvy stuff must also be done with just sandpaper in your hand!
