Ergonomic, durable, customisable, Default workable width: 10.75mm (shims can be used to make it a bit wider)
The starter kit comprises 1 blue, 1 green, 1 yellow and 1 red bodies. 4 white and 4 black sides, a set of screws, a roll of tape and 2 sets of 4 pre-cut strips (4 shorts and 4 longs) of abrasive film as used in our microfinishing film kit and on our paddles.
Please note the roll of tape provided with the kit is expected to last you a while if you follow the assembly instructions here below:
Assembly instructions 1 - always degrease the body of a jig and the back of the abrasive strip before assembling (isopropyl alcohol recommended) 2 - start sticking the tape past the first shoulder of the body and line it up to the center while stretching it on * make sure not to over or under stretch the tape so it adheres to the surface smoothly * use a sharp blade to cut the tape past the second shoulder * massage the tape well onto the plastic to ensure good bond 3 - apply a strip of (degreased) abrasive to the double sided tape, massage it on to ensure maximum bond 4 - line the sides with the screw holes and lock the screws in
* to change the abrasive strip, dismantle the screws and sides, tear off the old tape and start again from step 1. ALWAYS use a degreasing agent before applying the adhesive. * use your own abrasive if you prefer.
Using the tool Used with the correct technique, the jig can give round or pointy hammers. Our best advice: imagine working with a strip of sand paper and building the surface up for both sides, from the bottom up. Another way is to use the jig without abrasive mounted on and to pull a long strip of abrasive through the jig that remains in the same position through the motion.
