Nico, very observant, go to the front of the line, you know your s­­__t, the job is yours . Actually the photo is a so called selfie, I’m not left handed and unfortunately not ambidextrous so I was holding the camera with my right hand and trying to get a photo to post. You are right, my fingers should have been closed up for the best feel or read of the panel. Anyway my friend came over today and took a photo of my right hand with fingers closed………. hopefully one of the administrators will use the new photo to update the hand photo in my original post #1.

For years I’ve heard about feeling panels with a paper towel or cotton shirt under one’s hand. I have tried it and personally never found it that helpful. It’s easy enough to try and so many people have mentioned it, I would suggest everyone should at least give it a try……… remember I said none of this is written in stone. Regardless if you like something under your hand or not you want to get your whole flat hand on the panel, I see guys with years in the collision business feeling panels with only their finger tips and I just have to wonder how much they really know.

I have also enclosed a photo of how I push my vixen file for those that might not have fully understood my description. I very rarely ever file in line with the file body……. might leave a file edge marks on the panel. Once again I hope a administrator can move the photo to post #1. ~ John Buchtenkirch

P.S. Sorry I’m late with this post. I spent 6 hours in the skid-steer clearing snow & another hour plus shoveling it. I’m running out of places to put it. Next day I was totally exhausted, at my age there just isn’t as much gas in the tank.
