Recommended Posts

Hi there! styrene_engineer_20201021_031259_0.jpg.78d55478ed003f318b0eb275e65bedcf.jpg

#DIY Sanding stick. During building my models I need to sand plastic.  Sanding sticks are the best way to do this.  I make them myself. For this you will need: 
-sanding paper(any grit you need)
-double side foamed tape
-plastic card or any piece of plastic
-sharp knife
-ruler

First cut strip of plastic and sand edges to make them smooth.

Then cut a piece of foamed tape and glue to plastic strip.

Cut off excess tape. Cut necessary strip of sanding paper and glue it to the stick with tape.

If you need double side sanding stick then glue sanding paper from another side.
