In our busy wor kshop we use the Great Planes
Easy-Touch
™ Bar Sanders equipped with Great Planes
#80, #150 and #220-grit Easy-Touch Adhesive-Backed
Sandpaper. Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are
made from lightweight, rigid, extruded aluminum and can
be found at most hobby shops. They are available in
three sizes – 5-1/2" (GPMR6169), 11" (GPMR6170) for
most general purpose sanding and 22" (GPMR6172) for
long surfaces such as wing leading edges. The Easy-Touch
Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper comes in 2" x 12' rolls of
80-grit (GPMR6180), 150-grit (GPMR6183) and 220-grit
(GPMR6185) and an assortment of 5-1/2" long strips
(GPMR6189) for the short bar sander. The adhesive-backed
sandpaper is easy to apply and remove from your
sanding bar when it's time for replacement.
This setup is all that is required for almost any sanding
task. Custom sanding blocks can be made from balsa or
hardwood blocks and sticks for sanding difficult to reach
spots. We also keep some #320-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper
for finish sanding just before covering.
