Sand paper "Tool"

Bones-coa.

Tools like that exist, atleast over here. Let me try to describe the few I know off.

1.) Sanding blocks, those are like rectangular stones and come in different grids.
2.) Plastic sticks where the sandpaper wraps over one end, if paper is finished peel off and apply a new one.
3.) Sand paper handles, 3 to a set in different size and angles the handles got a jelly like substance attached that is sticky. Apply paper cut to size, when finished rip off, moisten gel and add new paper.
4.) Home made sanding sticks, I use different things from wood dowels to plastic rods, apply sandpaper with white glue, when finished rip off wash glue off and redo. Whatever fits in size and diameter will get sandpaper stuck to it.


No. 4 is a good method for hard to reach spaces or where you need an exact fit of the sanding material.

In addition to that I use fabric backed sandpaper or 3m sanding foam blocks.

Hope this helps.

Try the "Swanny Sander". It consists of a cheap electric toothbrush ($5-$6) and suppergluing a piece of wet/dry sandpaper to the tip (minus the bristles). YOu buy extra heads for different grit sandpapaer.

I have one, though I don't have a "rough sandpaper attachement" yet.

That;'s what a good supply of Balsa/Basswood strips are for, as well as all the odd pieces of Evergreen & Plastruct .... rounds & half-rounds & squares & angles & etc. Either pin or glue your little piece of paper to right shape & go for it .... lots cheaper than tools ...

To add to the good suggestions above, I have several of the 'white' pencil erasers in my desk drawer. I often use this to wrap sandpaper around as well (just wrap it around and put a little CA on the end to hold it together (like wrapping a Christmas present).

You can also cut the eraser into different shapes to satisfy your need.

Emery boards. They can be cut to any width, the end can be reshaped, bent to almost any angle, and even broken and CA'd into an 'L' shape. I find them to fit just about anywhere. If you need extra fine sanding then glue on a piece of #600 or what ever.

If you "borrow" one of the wife's you may want to hide it and blame the cat/dog for its disappearance.
