Contour Sanding Grips

[Model Maker]

Thought I'd simply post a link to these handy sanding aids. I use them to finish sand fillets and corners on the carvings as well as wet sanding primer. For 1/32 scale models I typically used the two smallest sizes. With the flexible handle, they sure beat sandpaper wrapped around dowels. The angle shapes nestle into corners much better than a block of wood.

They are available from Lee Valley who ship internationally. I'm sure they are available from other suppliers.

Lee Valley puts out a really great catalog, I'm brought to tears every time I look at it and you can download it if you can't get it in your area. Even if you don't order from them it's great to go through.

I agree Lee Valley catalogues remind me of the Sears Christmas Catalogue when I was a kid. Just more expensive toys. They have stores across Canada but I believe they'll ship almost anywhere.
