Run and Sag Removal

This procedure consists of shaving the run(s) or sag(s) flush with a commercial single edge razor blade, shaving file or sanding.

NOTE:
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT AREA FINISH.

1. Lightly scrape the defect until the defect is level with the surface.

2. Wet sand or compound the surface to remove any small scratches.

3. Polish to complete the repair.
