Cheap modelling sander

Post by wibblywobbly »

Just saw this on a site. If you need a small sander get a cheap electric toothbrush, cut the bristles off, and either glue or velcro sandpaper on. Apparently it works very well on styrene. :thumbup:

That's a great idea Mr Wibbly. I have two children and when they wear out thier current electric toothbrushes I'll keep them and try itImage

I would have never tried this out! Thank you
