Title: Sanding with an emery board.
Post by: Chachi on March 07, 2011, 11:57:32 pm

To get into those pesky little areas you just can't reach with a sander use an Emery Board. they come in different sizes and grits I always steal my wifes (shhhh don't tell her that) and if you buy the dollar store ones you can cut them with a razor knoife to fit in the holes... Just my tip I'm sure alot of you already knew this though.

Thanks Chachi.  I usually fold sandpaper into a tight wad and long enough to get into the holes to clean off the fuzzies.  I will get some emery boards...either from the store or my wife.

Adding to the sandpaper use (I got this tip from this forum), I cut sandpaper into 5-1/2" X 1/2" strips, fold in half, and use like a sanding blade. It worked pretty good, and if it breaks no biggie since its cheap.
