Not every surface is easy to sand, no matter what kind of high-tech sanding device you're using. Here are some tips on sanding hard-to-reach places. To get the most from a single sheet of sandpaper, rip it into four pieces, and fold each piece into thirds (figure A). That will give you three different sides per piece, making one piece of sandpaper 12 times more useful. To sand in crevices, wrap a piece of sandpaper around your finger or a dowel ( figure B). To sand molding or other irregularly shaped stock, use a deck of cards as a mold for a piece of sandpaper. Hold the deck of cards together with rubber bands and press the deck into the molding to get the cards stacked in the right shape (figure C). Wrap a piece of sandpaper around the bottom of the deck, and use it to guide the sandpaper into the crevices (figure D). For a speedy sanding job inside crevices, carve a slot into the end of a 3/8" dowel (figure E). Slide a strip of sandpaper through the slit, and insert the dowel into a drill (figure F). A belt sander can be set up so that the user moves wood over the sander instead of vice-versa. Clamp the belt sander to a work table with its belt facing up (figure G).
