    Default Small sanding device

    I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of anything to use to flat filler and prep into tight areas.i know there's dremmels and multi tools etc which are good for cutting, grinding but I'm after something or ideas on sanding. It's mainly to get into the corners of the battery tray and around the struts and places before I spray the engine bay.

    thanks Scott.

    I have a mouse sander which I'm going to try on the easier to get areas. It's the tighter stuff I need to get into. I get nobbed off far to quick hand sanding so was looking for the lazy mans way out

    I thought about one of those they look like they get into the really tight spaces where my mouse and orbital won't. Might try one

    Flat blocks are the bestvway to find filler. But a da or orbital sander are the best ways to start/knonk the top off.
    I have a small ish hand held one just to start with, ill find you a link.

    Power files/belt sanders are greaf to get in small tight places, but are very hard/aggresive... Even on low, so you have to be careful.
