OK, so i was doing some work on my mini today (i know, SHOCK!) by trying to deal with the problem of rust in the gutters, but it was an absolute PITA to do, especially the rust that had formed under the lip of the gutter. Now i was attempting to do this using some sandpaper and a thin bit of wood, but u just couldnt get the sandpaper to go where i wanted it to go. IS there an easier way of doing this? Its going to take effen ages otherwise.

HELP!

you could try a thin bit of cork or a bit of rubber failing that get Scott to do it :wink:

If it's old house paint it'lll probably contain lead. So remember to breathe in as much as you can when wire wheeling it. Each breath of lead filled paint you take, you live a day longer.
