      @@GunplaUniversity FYI I just built a lightsaber kit, and man it was a lot of sanding. I could not get the 3d print lines off with the infini so I tried my old god hand sponges and it just fell off. I was surprised because I loved the infini at first. I tried another kit where I had to sand seams and man the god 400-800did a better job, I couldn't believe. I do like the less fatigue factor of the stick, but going back as it just works better for me . Compare 400 to 400 on a seam removal and you will see what I mean. Also keep up the good work, great content...

    I pretty much exclusively use Infini sanding products now. I switch between sanding sticks, sponges, sheets on holder, and knife depending on the parts and nubs.

    • @GunplaUniversity

    I definitely agree that if you're going to buy things like this, it's good to buy both the sticks and sponge variants.
    The sponge variant is definitely more suited to sand rounded, curved, spiked, or edges.
    The stick variants are better for flat surfaces.
    It's logical and physics.
    I really should buy some more since it's been years since I bought any.
    I've also considered the 'RASER' products. I wonder if MechaWarehouse has those or will get those? I think I asked Nick about getting them a while ago. But he's been busy moving into the warehouse so maybe he hasn't had the time.

    Do you have a recommendation for how to buff/polish the plastic after you've sanded it

    • @GunplaUniversity
      @GunplaUniversity  3 роки тому +1

      sure, after youve sanded, bump up the grit to something much higher, say 2000 grit and up. the higher up you go the better shine youll get

      no i see other people who do that but in my experience i cant get things as clean with a knife as i can with sticks and sponges. i think you will enjoy them.

    There's this thing I saw called a polish box? But I can't seem to find them online. Maybe I have the wrong name for it? But I guess you use it after you sand? I have a kit made of abs plastic I'm working on now. I hope it's ok to sand down the nubs? Like the markings they leave behind?

    • @GunplaUniversity
      @GunplaUniversity  Рік тому +1

      not sure ive ever heard of that before but in general just working your way down to a fine grit will minimize the visible marks left.

    • @GunplaUniversity

      well they both have their purpose. id recommend both. they are both equally important and useful. there are also some other techniques youll learn down the live that will eliminate seems lines.

    • @GunplaUniversity
      @GunplaUniversity  3 роки тому +1

      Both the sticks and sponges are for sanding just depends on what type of party u are sanding. For grit I personally start with a 400 grit and then clean up with a 800-1000 grit

      @soyUsernameWasTaken 2 роки тому +1

      best.
      just cut and tape em to sticks, or sponges. you get best of both worlds for the price of one (and cheaper, too).
      or just manipulate them with your hands, i know some people who prefers this because of its extreme versatility.

    • @GunplaUniversity

      you can use steel sticks with paper sanding as well
