Hey Guys
My mind is failing me. Can you tell me the proper name for a product that is basically a piece of string with an abrasive on it? Great for cleaning up small areas of the model.
thanks
John

Thanks for this but no it looks like string. It has an abrasive on it. You then work the string back and forth to use the “sandpaper” for lack of another word. Much like flossing your teeth I would say.

I found it. Apparently it’s known as guitar floss. I never would have come up with that name. Amazon has it.
Thanks for looking

. Let’s put this puppy to bed. I’ve checked with my confidential and credible sources and the official name for this item is: abrasive cord. Ta-dah! There it is. Guitar floss, what was I thinking?

 

[Thomas]

Yes, if we keep going, this could become an abrasive thread!
