Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are made from
light-weight extruded aluminum and can be found at
most hobby shops The sanders are available in two
sizes - 11" (GPMR6170) for most general purpose

sanding and 22" (GPMR6172) for long surfaces such as
wing leading edges We recommend using the 2-1/4"
wide self adhesive sandpaper sold in 12' rolls by Great

Planes The sandpaper is available in three different grit

sizes - #80-grit (GPMR6180), #150-grit (GPMR6183)
and #220-grit (GPMR6185) Standard sandpaper can be

attached by gluing it to the sander with rubber cement.
Apply the rubber cement to both the bottom of the sander
and the back of the sandpaper When both surfaces are
dry to the touch, press the sandpaper firmly onto the
sander Spray adhesive can be used for this purpose but
it's much harder to remove the sandpaper when you
need to replace it Use a knife blade for cutting
sandpaper, not your good scissors!
