While I was touring the displays at iHobbyExpo 2009, I happened
across a booth from a new company (to me, at least) that specializes
in sanding and polishing products. The company is Alpha Precision
Abrasives, Inc. from Ontario, Canada and they bring together
a variety of products for a wide range of specialties, not
the least of which is for the scale modeler. One range featured
by Alpha Precision Abrasives was from Modelbrouwers.nl line
of hobbyist products.
Here is one of those rather unique and innovative products
- an abrasive cleaning disc. This is a 50mm diameter disc made
of a dense rubber or similar composite material that is heavily
textured. This tool will provide the texture for getting that
fine residue out of your hobby files and expensive polishing
and sanding papers. While the disc is semi-rigid and dense
in composition, it won't harm the abrasive surface like a scouring
pad.
I don't know about you, but even after a good session of wet/dry
sanding and polishing, it is hard to avoid build-up of residue
on my sanding sticks and files. With this handy pad, I can
more easily clean my tools without degrading their abrasive
surfaces in the process.
Definitely recommended for your bench!
You can contact Alpha Precision Abrasives on how to order
a set for yourself. Stop by their website for more information.
My sincere thanks to Alpha Precision Abrasives for
this review sample!
