Preparing Edges

Post by mark »

Particularly the edges from the Skibuilders store.

How do you prepare your edges before tacking them to the base?

I was planing on wire brushing them but they seem to have a bead or sand-blasted finish already. Is cleaning them with solvent enough, should I run the brush over them, or is there another method to consider?

The edges are already sandblasted. I just wipe them really well with acetone. After a while, the edges can start developing some surface rust. If that's the case, I would sand them with the roughest sandpaper you can find.
