I have been asked what I meant by long throw sander. Well as usual, my term is not common usage. What I meant is what is called long bed sander.
A long bed sander is described in this ad:

The tool described is air drive long bed sander. I have not seen an electric version nor have I searched for one.
I have seen the air drive long bed sanders used by guys finishing bottoms of sailboats used for racing. They are striving for smooth, slick bottom.
I use a hand long bed sander about 18 inches long. I use roll paper and cut to size.
I have seen hand long bed sanders used in furniture finishing. Some are over two foot long.
Generally when used on boats, wet/dry medium is used. Generally 600 to 1800 grit, and wetted.
When used on furniture, usually a 1000 to 1200 grit dry.
The long bed sander generally hits the high spots resulting in smoother finish.
This post is not intended to promote political discourse rather discussion of finishing repairs.
