I've been looking at these for ages, but never got one. Do you use the flory models sanding sponges lee, and do you find it much better than them as i dont have any problem loosing shape with those.

Much better Paul! You still need the polisher, but that's it

I use both sanding sticks (not Flory's - need to buy some for sure) and these Flex-i-files. I love them both. But these are fantastic for larger rounded/curved areas. I used mine with water and the finish was just amazing. No flat spots anywhere. OK the sanding sponges are good but you can get a flat spot even with those if your not careful. A place in my tool kit for both of these. Now get buying Paul - you know you want to.

Cheers
Jim

I have those and Love them for anything Rounded ! especially A/C and Missiles and stuff that don't need a FLAT spot ! LOL

they are a little pricey but worth every penny after the first build !

Take care !

I've been using them to clean up the seams of tank barrels for ages.
I'll used them for seams on figures sometimes too.
I find them fast and easy to use.
The set that I bought came with 3 frames and a crap load of tapes of all grits.
I also use those Squadron straight sanding sticks. I use them for everything else.
