Thanks from me, too.

I usually go to Sally with my significant other anyway, now next time I have something to look for.

Harbor Freight also sells sanding sponges that can be cut down to the desired size and they are cheap too.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

I am all about saving some money from my hobby budget when I can. Sally's has a lot of stuff and if you can ignore some of the stares you get, go for it. I pick up sanding sticks, nail finishing stuff like resin at a much lower cost because it does not say hobby on it. Bob Gregory Ruining one kit at a time

Thanks for the tip. My wife patronizes Sally's all the time--and now it looks like I'll have to go with her.

Found a retail store about 5 blocks from me. Picked up some blocks and sticks (very inexpensive).

Thanks for posting this.

Sally Beauty Sanding Sponges
Posted by Boxcar_Bret on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 8:29 AM

I might be late to the party on this one so if I am then my apologies. I was at Sally Beauty picking up some sanding sticks (because paying hobby store prices is for suckas) and came across these tiny sanding sponges for 29 cents each. I figured why not and grabbed a couple. Little did I know I'd be buying my new favorite tool.

These things are awesome!!! They're made of neoprene-like material that gives them just the right amount of flexibility to address compound curves. They're also are perfect for when you want to make quick work of a seam but don't want to risk damaging the part with a heavier grit. Oh, and they're washable!

A quick search on eBay and I was able to find them in a bag of 50+ in assorted sizes for something like 17 cents each. You're welcome Yes
