Workers in small modelling scales often come across situations where something needs to be sanded, but a needle file is too big risking damage to unwanted areas, and trying to use wet and dry paper in very confined or localized areas is very difficult.
Making a custom sander to suit your specific situation is one answer. Using anything handy, a strip of wood, or plastic cut to size and shape, just superglue on a piece of wet and dry paper whichever grade is appropriate to the job and away you go. When the w'n'd is worn out just glue another bit over the top.
I made this one using an old plastic paintbrush handle, with 400 grade paper on the end:
Now I can gently sand away those door bangers mentioned in the last post, so they protrude just the right amount (it's too difficult getting them right just by eye) , without damaging the bodyside.
