I use a Dermal Contour sander. Mine broke a while ago and I found a replacement on Ebay. They no longer make them and I have to make my own sanding sleeves, but I can't survive without it. There was a similar Craftsman there art the same time.

Not sure why dremel stopped making it. I have the dremel multimax tool and they make a contour sanding attachment for it but don't know if its any good.

The stopped making before CNC'c started to become popular. they have various shaped rubber inserts, concave, concave, V, flat and a large diamond like a multimax. They oscillate in the long direction with a sandpaper sleeve around them. I wrot to them (email) to suggest that they reinstate it.

The bristle discs are great, I use them on everything. Just search 3M bristle disc, they are on Ebay, Amazon and several other sites. Use on variable speed dremel or you will burn them up quick... and they ain't cheap! Also have one of the sanding mops that LHR sells, works for large areas.
