Block Sanding...

[LSx_88_Ciera]

paint stir stick is one of the best blocks on the cheap especially when working small areas.

I would agree that a paint stick works pretty well on small areas. I've used dowel rods in certain instances too.

I'm trying to picture 1/5 scale....... You are probably going to need some small blocks.

Dad and I talked to Dave Lane and he cuts pieces of plexiglass/lexan to shape for odd areas so that he could get them smooth and flat for final wet sand and buff.

Good luck - - - a lot of it is just being creative and finding anything that will work.

Thanks for the input guys, though I'm a little confused. The items you guys mentioned are hard objects... objects that will facet the body work, the sanding blocks need to "Give" a little to wrap the contours, am I correct?

But yea, I guess I should think more outside the box and try anything lol or just look for a few used ones, or go buy a cheapo somewhere.

Thanks
