Members Bert03241 Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 The prices they want for these simple little tools LOL I'll stick with the simple 50 grit sand paper and a rough nail file. I'm CHEAP! Quote
Members Spyros Posted February 20, 2022 Members Report Posted February 20, 2022 I use one of those things because it's just faster than messing with sandpaper, and I'm lazy. It was like $10, works fine, sometimes it clogs up and you need to give it a clean with one of those brass wire brushes (brass because you want it to be softer than the tool you're cleaning so you don't ruin it) Quote

I'm CHEAP! Well, they have to actually heat treat that rough edge, same as you would with a file, otherwise it won't last very long. I'm actually impressed they can make them so cheaply, I mean I could make one but it would take me a couple of hours and I would want a lot more than $10 for that alone.

The women's makeup department is your friend lol. tons of cool stuff for putting liquids and pastes on and off. Yup! Those work really well too - just try to buy them from anyplace but the local drugstore where they charge many times what you'd pay elsewhere! - Bill Quote
Members tbone669 Posted February 20, 2022 Members Report Posted February 20, 2022 I was in the model train section at PM hobby craft and found these. I thought they would work great. https://excelblades.com/search?q=sanding+stick&type=product Alternatively, they have cheap sanding sticks (grit glued to color-coded wooden sticks) like the nail file sticks mentioned above but specifically for hobby craft. I think this link is for them but there isn’t a picture. https://www.pmhobbycraft.ca/sanding-sticks-50-piece.html Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted February 20, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted February 20, 2022 You can make those sanding sticks yourself very easily. I make my own for plastic modelling. Just need a sheet or two of grit paper, double-sided tape and a load of lolly/flat popsicle sticks. Costs about a few $$ to make 30 to 50 sanding sticks Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
