What You’ll Learn:
How to Stop Sandpaper from Slipping: Learn the trick that keeps your sandpaper firm and steady, even during the toughest jobs.
Step-by-Step Tutorial: Follow along as we recreate the problem and apply Mr. Peter’s solution for a more controlled and effective sanding process.
Tools and Materials: We’ll walk you through the essential tools and materials, including the Hoffman Hand Forged axe, 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, and various grit sandpapers.
Tools & Equipment Mentioned:
Hoffman Hand Forged Axe: One of my most cherished tools, perfect for heavy-duty work.
3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive: A must-have in every shop for bonding surfaces together.
Primitive Woodsman Knife: A handcrafted knife, available through Ridge Runner Blades, that’s perfect for prepping wood handles.
Why This Hack Works:
The secret lies in bonding two different grits of sandpaper back-to-back, creating a more stable, dual-sided sanding tool. This approach not only prevents slipping but also allows you to switch between coarse and fine grits in seconds, making your work faster and more efficient.
Pro Tips:
Why a Knife is Better Than Sandpaper: While sandpaper is convenient, a sturdy knife or card scraper is often a better choice for prepping wood handles.
Optimal Grits for Hand Tools: We recommend using 60 grit for heavy lifting and 150 grit for a smooth finish on your woodworking projects.
