|  Smoothing the edges?
After you trim the body, how do you smooth out the edges?

I use a Dremel with a stone drum. It also works to make the edges real clean.

I used sand paper. 100 grit to clean it up and then down to 600 to really smooth them out. They looked like they were "factory"...course I ended up cutting them off not too long after! DOH!  Crappy pic but...  Last edited by Mr.Joshua; 05-17-2012 at 10:02 PM. |

I've always used sand paper, and for those hard to reach areas I use something like thisTowerHobbies.com | FOR159 159 Fourmost Sanding Stick I can't find exactly what I've got but it has the profile like an airplane wing, round on one side flat on the other, kinda looks like a half tear drop. For long flat areas use a regular sanding block. If you cut carefully usually don't even need sanding. |

Make sure to used curved lexan scissors to trim the body, regular kitchen scissors will leave it pretty rough looking.
