In short, you don't need a block larger than your repair area.

Thank you both. I guess my concern came from watching a few videos and it looked like it would be pretty easy to go too low in the area I am working if the block is smaller than the repair area. I will keep watching videos for sure!
I ordered a durablock kit from Amazon that should be in today or tomorrow. For now, the only block I have is one of the small 3M blocks with the flaps and pins to hold the sandpaper. Seems to work well to start, but I don't trust myself enough to use it without going too low. I know this is something that is learned by doing, so I will get started.
