Ultimate Model Products

A

nother new

release in the

Ultimate Model

Products sanding stick

range is the Buffer Triple

Pack. The pack features

three flat foam-based

sanding sticks, two

with a fine 3000 grit and one

with an ultra-fine 12000 grit.

My main use for these

sticks is to deal with the seam

lines on blown clear canopies.

I start by removing the seam

with a new scalpel blade, then

sand lengthways with the

3000 grit stick, followed by a

crossways sanding with the

12000 stick, followed by a dip

in Johnsons floor polish.

CONCLUSION

As with the other sanding

sticks I have reviewed, these

will last and last, especially if

you use a lot of water as part

of the sanding process.

Visit their web site at http://www.

umpretail.com to see the full

range of sanding sticks, as well

as many other useful products

S

AC must have been working

hard over the Christmas

break, as we have no less

than seven new sets this month.

Most for recent releases, and

one for a kit that has not even

made it to market as I write

this. As always the legs are cast

in white metal and will only

require minimal clean up with

a jewelers file before use.
