LotusArenco Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Just posted this up in ‘Vehicle discussion’ and thought it may be a useful tip for others. For sanding sticks and sponges I sometimes make my own. Hobbycraft, A4 sheets of ‘craft foam’ about 1/8 inch thick, 50p a sheet. Spread on a thin layer of ‘Tacky glue’ and stick on whatever grade of grit wet n dry you want to use. Leave to dry, then use a sharp blade to cut out whatever shape sanding stick/sponge you want. Glue onto a stick or just grip with a pair of tweezers to get into those awkward areas. Mart 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viscount806x Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thanks for that Mart. What make of glue do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusArenco Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 I use the one in the picture, cheap own brand, but I guess any glue that dries with some flexibility would work (PVA etc.). Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 mmm, good idea, I like, I use. I make my own sanding sticks, now sanding sponges will be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarz-Brot Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Same here. Did it with sticks for a long time. Sponges I never tried. Though I rarely use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
