Polished work - using a geometric background to analyze your surface
In another thread the concept of using a lined or a grid background to help gauge the degree of contour accuracy in a panel is brought up.
Yes, this is important, and craftsmen have been using strip lights for decades to help with this. Also, horizontal contrasting lines are helpful, such as sharpie lines of posterboard, masking tape on a sheet of material, or plastic lighting panels that have a grid on them. I used this last background in a "Hail Dent" film I did back in 2009. Using such a grid shows how accurate your hail dent repair can be on a polished aluminum (airplane) panel. https://www.tinmantech.com/products/...repair-dvd.php ( I only thought of posting the link as I was closing this thread intro here, so maybe it isn't really an unabashed sales ploy ... ) Below is an image I mocked up, but is not nearly as clear as on the TMTech DVD - and is not as clear as what you see when using this method in the shop.
