Sanding the compound curves of jet intakes can be made much easier using an angled pair of tweezers and a 3M Between Coats Finishing Pad, a finer version of a 3M Scotch-Brite pad (look in the paint department). The “Between Coats” pad works great because it sands on all sides, doesn’t clog with sanding dust, and conforms to curved surfaces without creating flat spots. Once your favorite putty cures, take a small (1" x 1") square of the pad, grab it with angled tweezers, and gently sand away. You’ll have a smooth intake in no time.
