Thank you
A1 - I suppose you should.
One of the last things you do before final finishing is to "scrape" the binding. That removes any scatches that there might be in it.
A2 - Yes. That is a clue that you have stayed too long in one place! Okay. To be serious, you develop a feel for how to move the sander.
A3 - Huh!? One of the beautiful things about binding is that there is virtually no radius. It really cuts into your arm! Really! I knock the sharp edge off with the scraper, but that is about it. 0.06" think binding is just too thing to round over.
I think Fuzzy did his Outlaw guitar with thicker binding that he did round over. Maybe he'll give us the details.
