About product

A metal sanding tool with several angles (U-STAR)

A sanding tool with a metal body which, according to the name, offers several working angles. The point of a tool like that is simple: a metal body does not flex under pressure, so the tool keeps its shape and the surface of the model really does come out level. The several angles then make it possible to work on edges and chamfers too, where a flat sanding tool would only make contact with part of its face.

When you will use the tool

  • leveling a glued seam on a flat surface of a fuselage or a hull
  • sanding edges and chamfers, where an angle has to be kept
  • trueing up sprue remains after a part has been cut off
  • preparing a surface before the base color is sprayed on

What to watch out for

A rigid metal tool forgives fewer mistakes than a soft sponge — it takes material off wherever you put it, even when you have put it in the wrong place. Work in short strokes, check the part against the light and take material off a little at a time, especially on thin parts and around engraved panel lines. Remove the dust after sanding, otherwise the base color will bring it out. On plastic it is often an advantage to sand wet. It also pays to wipe a metal tool after work — clogged abrasive takes material off less well and starts sliding over the surface rather than sanding it.

Who the sanding tool is for

  • builders who want flat surfaces and clean edges
  • modelers working with filler that has to be leveled
  • anyone whose soft sanding tool rounds the edges off

Check the dimensions of the tool, the grit of the abrasive and the number of working angles on the box.

FAQ

A metal body does not flex under pressure, so the surface comes out flat. A soft sponge follows the shape and rounds the edges off.

They make it possible to bear on chamfers and edges, where a flat tool would lie against only part of its face.

Check the grit of the abrasive on the box.

Yes, but carefully and with light pressure. A rigid tool can sand a shallow line away faster than you expect.
