Cross filing means a change in the direction of the file strokes so<br />
that the file is moved at an angle between 45ºand 90º over the<br />
previous file strokes, thus checking the accuracy of the curvature in<br />
that direction. After filing, and prior to refinishing the panel, the<br />
damaged area is sanded using a fine-grit sanding disc which leaves a<br />
smooth, even surface ideally suited for painting.<br />
