Hobby Elements Tools

[nheather]

Hi,

 

A member here recently suggested that I look at the Hobby Elements Molding Flash Sander.  I googled and whilst I could find plenty of videos on YouTube, I couldn't find any stockists and also the Facebook page had not been updated in over a year.  The member then gave me an email to try - I did and got a response.  Please note that I am in no way connected to Hobby Elements.  Actually, although I find the products intriguing and would like to try some, they are rather expensive so I'm not sure that I will buy any, but in case others are interested, here are the details.

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel
