PROTOform has released a video that shows you how to trim and mount a body. What is really interesting about it, is that you can see the PROTOform Body Tools in action. The Better Edge Sanding Block and the Better Edge Sanding Drum pretty much work as expected. It is the new PROTOform Crosshair Body Mounting Kit that impresses me.
