So, i'f you're like me, you have a collection of sand paper, and as many sanding bars. While I have a drawer of paper, I have lots of little bits. An old crumpled pierce is just about perfect for small fillets, small jobs, and as such. When folded right, fits nicely on your finger for delicate work!
I have the Great Planes bar, that I use pretty much all the time. I got the 32" one,and cut it into 2 pieces; one about 11" long and the longer part. i I never really use the longer one, except that both of them together, are good at stabilizing a tube.
I have a small collection of the sanding foam pads. Also good for round / organic surfaces.. They don't get used that much, but are good for eh final smoothing of surfaces. But, they can carve dents & divots if you're' not careful..
I have a various diameter tubes, good for sanding the convex sides of things, like fairings, undercut fins, etc. There's even a few dowels in there, to get really small dia sanding done!
Lastly, my 90° sanding block. great for ensuring a 90° edge to any piece I need, such as a fin root! I use this on just about every sanding job. It's a 2" x 2" block of balsa, ad I've changed the sand paper about a half dozen times!
You have any sanding tips or neato sanding tools?
Can you guess what that big block is in between the sanding dowels?!
