Rubbing Blocks The quality of the finished gel can always be attributed to the way in which it has been cut back. For best results early coat should be cut back using a hard stable block. Then as the paper grades increase you can use softer more flexible blocks.

We have found that these double sided alloy blocks give consistently good results. One side is polished alloy and the other is hard rubber.

Use the 1/3 sheet for large areas and the 1/4 sheet for more detailed work
