On our workbench, we have four 11" Great
Planes
®
Easy-Touch
™
Bar Sanders, equipped
with #50, #80, #150 and #220-grit sandpaper.
This setup is all that is required for almost any
sanding task. Custom sanding blocks can be
made from balsa for sanding hard to reach
spots. We also keep some #320-grit wet-or-dry
sandpaper handy for finish sanding before
covering.
Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are
made from lightweight extruded aluminum and
can be found at most hobby shops. They 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"
wide self adhesive sandpaper sold in 12' rolls by
Great Planes. Standard sandpaper can be
attached by gluing it to the sander with brush-on
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!
