Im thinking of picking up some of the Ultimate sanding sticks, but having never really used this product before im not really sure at what to order. Ive only previously used some Squadron ones.

Any advice would be great, Ill be using them on 1/35 armour and 1/72 aircraft if that matters.

Cheers
Brian.

Good for you, you will love them
They are washable too, so you can wash the sanding grit out and extend their useful life
Happy Christmas

how do you know which sander is which?

Just by the feeling of it...

The white is the harder one, then the black, then the grey then the reverse of the black then the green and the reverqse of the green which is the buffer.

I don't think they need it to be honest there's only 3 sanders which are all obvious they are different. I can tell them apart by eye fairly easily
