    Bit old I realise and may have fixed it, but a bit of masking tape either side of the "run" can act as a bit of a guide for height for the razor and protects the finish as well. Then minimises sanding damage around it.

    Good tip Roscco. Never too late!

    I should have included this in my previous post. I apply the tape directly to the blade.

    This accomplishes two things:
    1) It acts as a depth stop (same principle as yours)*.
    2) The tape can be applied to vary the width of the exposed blade to accommodate the width of the run.

    *The depth can also be adjusted by using different thickness tapes (like cello vs masking) and/or applying multiple layers.
