    What type of wet sandpaper is good for sanding a resin head? And what grid size should I use? Thanks

    I just use Testors fine grit and wrap it around a carpenters pencil...the triangle shape of the pencil helps with the circular of the head and behind ears and such.

      ^I use these as well. Thanks for the pencil idea. I also use emery boards for some detailed areas.

          For cleaning or altering casts, I'd also recommend a decent set of metal sculpting tools and quality set micro files to get into small spaces/details. A set of dentist's tools also come in handy too.

              Yes, emery boards are really handy... I use them a lot. I also use sanding sticks for small or hard to reach spots.

                Emery boards are a customizer's friend.
