Bandai Spirits Sanding Stick File Set (Mini) - 9 Pack

Achieve a professional, factory-clean finish with the Bandai Spirits Sanding Stick File Set (Mini). This essential finishing tool is specifically engineered to remove unsightly nub marks and surface imperfections from your plastic models. The "mini" profile is a game-changer for high-detail kits like Real Grade or SD, allowing you to reach tight corners and narrow crevices that standard-sized sanding sticks simply can’t access.

Product Features

• Versatile Grit Selection: This set provides a complete three-step workflow to take your parts from rough-cut to smooth-finish:

  • #400 (Coarse): Best for initial removal of nubs and heavy surface leveling.

  • #600 (Medium): Ideal for removing scratches left by the 400-grit and smoothing out larger areas.

  • #1000 (Fine): Perfect for the final polish, preparing the surface for paint, topcoat, or a clean bare-plastic look.

• Moderate Flexibility: The sticks feature a flexible core that conforms to the curved surfaces of armor plates and rounded mecha limbs, preventing the "flat spots" that can occur with rigid files.

• Precision Mini-Size: The slim, compact dimensions are tailored for precision work on 1/144 scale and smaller components, ensuring you don't accidentally sand away neighboring details.

• Generous 9-Piece Set: Includes three files of each grit, providing longevity and ensuring you always have a fresh surface ready for your next project.

Usage Tips

• The Progressive Sanding Method: Always start with the lowest number (#400) and work your way up to #1000. Skipping a step can leave micro-scratches that become visible once you apply paint or a matte topcoat.

• Wet Sanding: For an even smoother finish and to prevent plastic dust from clogging the grit, try dipping the tip of the stick in a little water before use.

• Cleaning: When the file becomes clogged with plastic dust, a quick tap or a rub with a soft brush will refresh the surface for continued use.

Builder's Note: If you want to take your Gunpla from "assembled" to "masterpiece," sanding is the most important step. These mini sticks are the perfect companion to your nippers, helping you erase every trace of the runner for a seamless, professional appearance!
