    Default Bristle Disc

    I use mine on a Dremel tool..Dremel makes them, also you can get them at Lowes, have to buy the adapter to attach it....they work really well... It is easy to use just run it over the rough spots cleans it up and you lose no detail, you can clean up a large project pretty fast with it...they come with instructions and what speed to use it at....Dremel's brush is a single brush you use alone, the ones from Foredom you have to attach 3 or 4 to your tool....I use the 3/4 inch...

    The 3M bristle brushes are critically important to anyone doing 3D in wood unless of course you have a wife who just loves to sand! A great way to dip your toe in with these is to get a small kit from riogrande.com.

    You plonk two of these on a mandrel at once and use a Dremel at no more than half speed. You do need to get them facing the right way. Its a mistake to get the bigger kit as its really designed for finishing and a lot of the grits are far too fine for use on wood.

    They have some good stuff for tight sanding! Not just the glove.

    Default Sanding mops

    I use a sanding mop. I have been using a fine grit and thinking of going one step down to a slightly rougher grit. I use mine in a battery powered drill and it works great. And yes they do wear out to soon. My worn mops I use for sanding in between finishing coats. Here is an interesting video. I wonder if this guy is a former marine. You marines will catch on the trigger words.

    I use them all the time for 3D clean up and V-carved Cherry MDF. I've been using the 180 grit ones. After they're broke in a bit, they soften up nicely. Just wish the 2x6 wasn't $30 a pop for refills.

    Thanks Brady, after releasing my buttons I had 1.5" razor sharp circular objects that I managed to wet sand with my fingertips to a soft edge. BOOKMARKED!
