How To Use Godhands Acrylic FF Board Sanding Sticks | #askHearns

uh different colors the idea behind that

is uh just so when you've got easy for

you to quickly recognize

which one you've got you can even write

on them hello this is bj from hearns

and i'm going to be talking about the

guide hand

acrylic sanding boards some of the

sanding papers

and the double-sided tape and what it's

all about

so the sanding boards here

so you'll see that they're all in

different colors the idea behind that

is uh just so when you've got uh sanding

paper mounted on it it's easy for you to

quickly recognize

which one you've got you can even write

on the the back of it what the grid is

so if you use a texture you can just um

clean it up when you're changing the uh

the paper next time around

so the acrylic boards you'll see acrylic

is basically perspex

it's very tough it's quite stiff there's

a bit of movement there

so the idea is you can put on any type

of

sandpaper you want so we'll just show

you these ones here so these are the god

hand paper backed

sanding papers they also have the the

waterproof ones

but these work a little bit different in

that paper based ones

are a bit stiffer so

and they they adhere a bit easier okay

so you see on the back

this is actually written what um

gritters on it so 600 grit

so it's from this set here which is the

a set so it's got the

240 400 600 and 800 grit

and then the b sets got the finer stuff

which is the 1000

the 1200 the 1500 and the 2000

okay so all it needs is to mount onto a

board

you just need to cut it out to the size

you want

so if you want to cover the whole board

i guess we will cut from this end here

and then these particular ones are um uh

what are they 15 mil i think

look yep they're 15 mil

so you might just see over here i've got

the different sizes of

double-sided tape you can get when

you're changing uh

your paper after it's um lost it's uh

grit okay so let's just quickly uh work

out how we're gonna cut it okay so spin

around to the back

so grit to the the base there so it

doesn't move around

get a ruler here so i'm just going to

use this to

measure it up basically so we'll line up

the edge

of the board with the paper

so the closer you get it the less

overhang

the better it will be because you won't

be wasting any of the paper

um and you won't have any loose bits

on the edges when you're sanding so you

just cut it with a sharp knife

on a metal rule do it a few times just

be careful with this because

if you're not and you're trying to do it

in one shot with a lot of pressure you

can slip off and quite easily

cut your finger which i've done in my

early days and

done so often don't want to do it

anymore so it's good to be careful

okay so we've got our strip there let's

leave this on this side

and then we want to measure it up so

it's just right here

okay and then i guess from here you can

even use just the edge of the

acrylic this is a guide

okay so there you go you're done there

so that's a perfect size go over this

let's see there okay so i've just sliced

on

that piece and we halved it so you'll

notice here that

you know if we've halved it they're

exactly the same length

so you've got two bits out of that long

section there so they designed it so

you can maximize the sizes of these

sheets of course you can use other

papers as well you just um

might have a little bit of leftover at

the end okay so these

um here this is a protective coating

actually

so this just peels off okay to reveal

just the um

the acrylic

so you need to put on the um the

double-sided tape

which we'll get here so we need the uh

the 15 mil

now the tape is quite a special tape

because one side is high tech

and the other side is low tech so

the idea behind that is so that it's

easy to

remove and replace

okay so the top section here

that's under this protective paper

that's a high-tech tap

tape i should say and that's the part

that's going to be sticking onto the

paper

and underneath this is the low tack so

you see how easy it is coming off there

okay so that's the part that's going to

go onto our acrylic board

so that it's easy to remove okay so

let's just pop it on

so just peel off a bit here

and we'll line it up

okay so lined it up with the end gently

pressed it down a little bit

then it's a matter of

tensioning it so so you pull it

to tension it and then drop it down when

you're over the edge

okay so it's all lined up press it down

across here

and that's the tape on okay so you just

drop it down here use the end as a ruler

trim it off

give it a bit of a press and that's your

tape on

so just pop this away for a long time

okay now to mount up you just need to

take off this backing

so it's going to take a bit of

dexterity here just pull up the corner

like any type

okay so as you pull up the top just make

sure the the sticky still there

you might just see it there you can feel

the tack

it's got a slightly different color

because of the clear tape going on

you see that so taken off the backing

and then just like we uh mounted the uh

the tape you do the same thing to mount

the uh the paper

so work it onto one edge okay so that's

the edge there i'm using my fingers here

to guide it

and then just pull it up a bit

tension it again line it up with the

sides of the board

it's on okay press it down

and there's your sanding stick

all mounted up and from here

in the same things so what to do with

that bit of plastic i had before there

it is here

okay okay and then

okay

okay so that's going to give you a very

firm i guess a

file feel but it's going to be much

finer than any file you can do

so like so and then when this is all

done

and you need to change it you just peel

it up from corner

so you notice there that

the high tack is stuck to the back of

the um the paper

and the low tank is released cleanly

from the acrylic

so you didn't have to worry about

cleaning up any of that with any tack

left behind

peel straight off clean and then just do

that again

to mount on your new piece it's as

simple as that

so these are the um acrylic boards for

sanding by god hand

um i've got the paper here as well so

they're the paper-based uh back type

stuff

actually i should show you something

else that it's good for so

the paper stuff is stiffer and the

advantage is

you can fold it like so

and you use this edge for cleaning

edges like this how to get it

there is so like so

okay so there's a two sets here you get

a which is a coarser grid you get b

which is the finer grit and then with

the double sided tapes

uh if you want to make your own boards

then it's available in a thinner six

millimeter

a medium 10 millimeter or there's a full

size 15 millimeter which will be used

for these

so i hope you've gotten a bit more

knowledge out of that that's the um

the sanding boards by godhand so they're

acrylic very tough

uh very easy to uh change them over

using double-sided tape

um so if you want to use them you need

to get the um the boards

and then the matching tape to go with

them so the 15mm boards

15mm tape and then if you want to make

your own then you choose whichever size

suits you best

so there you go the guide hand acrylic

sanding boards

sanding papers and the double sided tape

for fixing it
