Alchool Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Hi all, after many weeks of forum-abstinence (I hear you saying "Who cares?") I'm back with another of my "Stoopid questions"®. Can I use a Stewmac radius sanding block with normal sandpaper without buying the expensive self-adhesive sandpapers they sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Rosenberger Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 sure, I dont even use double stick tape, just use a big enough sheet of sandpaper to be able to hold it on the sides while sanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 I've got the fretting video series with Dan Erlewine and he just used some regular sandpaper on some of his jobs. Just wrapped it around and held it while he sanded, just like Scott said... So no, you don't have to use it, but it can be easier in some aspects to use the adhesive brand. Just a matter of preference. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt For me it's all about $$$ StewMac sells the blocks cheap enough, but the adhesive sandpaper costs big$$$ compared to plain sandpaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarfrenzy Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 lol.. yeah we agree on this one. I haven't bought any either, but can see that it might be a little easier in some aspects. Just not easy on the pocketbock aspect. lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 i like using double stick tape cause then i can just concentrate on the fingerboard, not weather or not the paper is slipping off the block, but this also means that the sandpaper is only good for one board, cause once you try to take it off the block it kinda ruins the paper especially if it's 600 grit + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I'm new here, and I'm about to build a guitar. I'm 14 with limited resources and a lot of freakin time. Anyway, I'll probably be askin a bunch of question for the next little while, so bear with me if they've been asked before. I'll do my best to find them, but I might ask them again if it's not clear or I don't see it. Anyhow, kinda on topic, to radius a fretboard, can you just keep it flat, and then sand it with the radiused block. Also, if that is proper, is it possible to make a compound radius with the radiused blocks. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
