Hi all,

Has anyone used micro sanding wands, such as those available from Micro-Mark. I've always thought they looked like they could be handy but have never tried them. Is it easier just to make sanding sticks, and if so, and recommendations on the best way to do it?

Thanks.

You might want to look at ladies nail boards. Not the old emory style that are course as hell, but the newer polishing boards that comes in different colors. You can get them at Walmart cheaply and they work really well. You can make plastic look like it hasn't been touched in no time.

Thanks for the replies. Must have missed the article. I actually have one of the nail polishing sticks and have used it a few times, including polishing clear plastic and canopies. I'm basically just looking for something that can get into really tight spots so maybe I'll look into making some sanding sticks. Thanks again.
