Next Meeting: June 14, 2021

Not only is it Flag Day and our first meeting back at Smoketree Community Center after a COVID-related too-long absence, but Bob Walls will present an overview of sandpaper and sanding sticks. Bob's presentation is modeled after one that Scott Bregi did for AMPSCV a couple of years ago.

Bob's overview will cover:

• Review of the different sanding papers available
• Review of the sanding sticks available
• How and when to use these tools during your modeling
• Demonstration of using Norton A275 (400 grit) Self Stick No Fill sandpaper to make your own sanding blocks and “sanding sticks”

Those attending the demo will receive a foot-and-a-half of the Norton A275 roll to try at home! I am still using the sample I received at Scott's demo and can vouch for the quality and usefulness of this product!

Be sure to be there on June 14th!
