1. Need a way to sand out the small holes in some of your balsa
or ply parts. use a small dowel like 1/8 or 3/16 in size. Trim and wrap a piece of 100
grit sand paper around the top of the dowel. Use CA to glue in place. Works great for removing extra
wood for a better fit.
2. Need a way to sand out the small cut outs on some of the balsa
or ply parts. Use a piece of scrap 1/8 plywood, cut pieces into 1/4, 1/8, and 3/16 etc. strips, about 6 inches
long in size. Wrap the top portion with 80 or 100 grit sand paper depending on wether you are sanding
balsa or ply. Use CA to glue to the stick. Works great for removing the extra wood for a better fit.
