hand polishing inside hard places
You guys ever take 3M wet or dry Carborundum paper , cut it into half inch or so strips 9 inches long ---using 4-5 or 600 grit.. then take strips of Duck Tape a little narrower than the paper and attach these strips to the back of your sand paper..... you'll be surprised at how strong the paper becomes and how much easier your work becomes.....Trick here is not to let the tape overlap the paper and get sticky stuff off the duck tape onto your work.....

Two rules of the south....If it don't move and it's supposed to- put WD40 on it ... if it moves and it's not supposed to, Duck Tape it.

You got that right Lloyd. Every man's shop must have WD-40 and Duct (Duck) tape.
A few years back I started a thread on the old CKD forums about WD-40. We discussed the history of it, and the hundreds of uses with the stuff. __________________  Click the banner above to visit my website

Great idea! I have a tanto that has a couple of rough spots on it. That should do the trick!

Little gems like that take a pain and turn it into a pleasure. I got a rough spot that was giving me fits. Just happens to be in the sub hilt area Steve. Heading to the shop now to fix it pronto. That WD40 thread was a goodie!

A modification to the duct tape idea is to use clear strapping tape instead. the clear back allows you to read your grit size on those pieces you lay aside; instead of just guessing. I need all the help I can get. taping your paper is one of those priceless tips. be cool

I use double-sided carpet tape, the fiberglass kind. Slap two pieces of sandpaper on both sides, then trim off thin strips with a utility knife and steel straight edge. This gives you two surfaces to play with and eliminates the tacky edge residue.
On very fine grits, the course fiberglass tape yields a "waffle" texture that seems to cut better and last longer, too. For finish work, I use crocus cloth. Can be torn to any width and almost eliminates the need for buffing. -Frank J Warner __________________ --Frank J Warner Happiness is tight gibs and a flat platen. http://www.franksknives.com/
