Editorial opinion:
IF you are using acrylics, cast acrylics, celluloids or hard rubber (ebonite), it is NOT a good idea to use padded sanding pieces.
The padding keeps you from feeling any HEAT build up. So you won't singe your "finnies", meanwhile your "meltable media" can start smoking!!!
On these materials, you CAN use wet sanding (I don't) or you can sand with paper or cloth that allows you to instantly sense a heat build up (I do).
Other opinions are encouraged to post. I see a lot of interest in padded sanding, I have always wondered WHAT the advantage is.
So, tell me!!!
