Sanding sticks
Posted by dahut on Friday, December 28, 2007 8:35 PM

Same old news, but maybe some missed it.

In case you've never been, go to your nearest beauty suppy store or beauty section of your local Mart store. All sorts of things useful to modelers are there, not the least of which are these:

 

These are just a random sampling of sanding and buffing sticks I've picked up at Sally Beauty and WalMart. They come in a dizzying array of styles as can be seen here. The buffing sides of these sticks are eally great for working seam lines to a fine finish.

You can also buy super glue for less than the "hobby" CA's or hardware store stuff - it's what they use to adhere false nails. Guess what, they also have accelerators and debonders, too. All for nails, but it's all the same stuff.

Cheers, David

I'll bet you have lovely hands!

Actually I do. My wife was a fashion model when she was young and worked for a designer, too. Then she managed Sally Beauty stores for several years, which is where I discovered the plastic modelling virtues of beauty supplies. Needless to say, she looks good and keeps me styled and well groomed, as well.

Go one better - get something nice for yourself before then.

Get a styled haircut, a new pair of $50 slacks that fit, etc. Come home, give your woman a smooch and bend her over the.... well, you get the idea. If nothing else, it'll keep her guessing and women live for mystery, man.

 I was at the DOLLAR TREE last week and picked up 32 pack for a buck. They are the cheepy kind, real thin. Differend courseness but basickly coarse. But hey, for a buck
