Not looking for a debate or argument on this. Works for me. You do what works for you.
No debate, but I don't know what you are describing. "Sand area off"? "ends cannot be stitched in"? Are you patching a tube or something else? What kind of kits do you use? Tip Top works great for me, can't imagine any kit could be much smaller.
The sand paper or metal scraper is just for roughing up the tube so the glue sticks, that's all. Has worked for me for 58 years of patching tubes with zero failures.
