Estes Plasma Probe Build Part 11 Sanding the Dowel Joint


I wanted a small rounded piece of sandpaper to smooth off the CWF in the dowel seam.
400 grit (or any grit sandpaper) won't roll into a tight cylinder without crimping.

TIP: Set the sandpaper over a small dowel and pinch your fingers around the right side. Roll the sandpaper over dowel by pushing your thumb forward and back. This will round the sandpaper without creasing it.





Remove the dowel and you have a tight cushioned circle of sandpaper to sand the CWF joint smooth.
This works well as the tight curve has some give with no creases to scar the filled joint.
