    Good to know, appreciated.

    Hi Loretta,

    We're still waiting to see those pictures!

    Sorry, I'm still debating how well I like the things I got.... I had been looking for something "tiny" to clean up the diamond background on the name plate I made. I never really got the sharp lines like I wanted, and got tired of trying different things, so I went ahead and stained it... but, I'll go ahead and post what I had gotten, because I think they are still going to come in handy - the sanding sticks won't last terrible long... but, since I'm still trying different techniques, I'll continue to use up these items, and debate whether to replace them when they are gone.

    I guess they want to pique our curiosity to make it irresistible to buy them and try them ourselves! Looks like a great idea in principle but I agree I'd like to see video of them in action with "before and after" shots of a sanded item.

    The small one would be good for the edges of raster carved lettering where there is rough grain tare out.

    I just ordered the small ones in fine and medium grit. They should fit where the mini mop can't.
