Hobby Stix Swizzle Stick Sanders (15 assorted grits/Bag)

I have been using this product for quite some time now. I find it literally indispensable, especially for any “careful” or painstaking sanding jobs on large scale models. The variety of “grits” makes it very useful to grab whatever is needed at that particular moment. The good quality is quite consistent. My only objection is that this product is not durable enough to withstand wet sanding, which is for me essential due to the need to reduce scratch marks, which wet sanding is more likely to achieve. Still, it’s pretty easy then to revert to a finer grit stick to minimize scratched plastic surfaces, a modeler’s nightmare.

These inexpensive sanding sticks are my go-to abrasive product for cleaning up model parts. Five different grits means you can always find the right grit for the job at hand, and the sticks are padded, so they won't cut unwanted grooves in your work the way files can. They last a long time, and the ends can be cut off as they wear. An excellent value.

I'm just a beginner modeler, but I've found these very handy. Since they've arrived I've used them almost exclusively and to get into all the tight spaces. Will buy again.
