I tried this once, plain sand is too course. It's like covering the steps with 40 grit sandpaper and rubbing any exposed skin against them will ensure road rash!. Try to get the proper stuff from a paint store, it will be easier to keep them clean also.

A quick hi to all. Lots of interesting threads here. My garage... 20 x 30 - 2 car with a shop across the back. Built on a slope the shop has a 4' crawl space for storage and a 3 x 4 pit opening.
I"m into VW air-cooled and doing as much of the builds myself as possible. I'd rather buy new tools...
