Flex-I-File

Tools 'n' Tips Article by Steve Bamford

 

3 file set

 

Above is a photo of the contents of the 3 file set.  There is also a set that has just one file.  Which one to buy depends on the individual modeller,  for myself I only use one of the Flexi-File holders.....I do my rough work with a file.....finer work with 400grit pieces of sand paper and then use the fine paper on the Flex-I-File to finish the seam. 

 

The interesting feature of the Flex-I-File is the way it permits you to sand the round areas of an aircraft model with very little effort and you get great results every time....no more flat spots from careless sanding.
Great for sanding round areas on aircraft models

The Flexi-File is stocked by the better hobby shops or you can try this address I found on the handle
