Rant: An old timer in a Spokane shop told me to always hand-sand the last 10% of a filler job
He said the vibration from a DA sander can loosen the bond at the edges if you go all the way. Anyone still do this, or is it just outdated practice now?

Old guy was onto something. Modern fillers bond better, but vibration still travels. A quick hand sand at the edge is cheap insurance.

Tried it on my deck. No cracks after two winters.
