ESzczesniak Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 A while ago a freebie promotional sanding stick with a Spruebrothers order. It was all stamped with Spruebrothers, but I assume it was some brands available product that Spruebrothers made a deal and added their logo too. Could anyone one tell me what sanding sticks these are, as I’ve really liked it? I know they’re not Flex-I-File. These used to be my go to, but recently they’re garbage. The sandpaper wears out quickly, they delaminate easily, and the fine grits are oddly brittle. I have the Alpha Abrasives foam backed. Love this for regular sand paper type work, but it’s a bit soft and very large (thick) for a sanding stick. I tried the Infini Zebra stick, but these are very wide and awfully rigid. I know Infini makes another version, but the pictures don’t look like the Spruebrothers version. I cant find any other sticks on their website. Their freebie looks similar dimensions to a Flexi-I-File, sandpaper similar to the Alpha Abrasive, and less rigid than the Infini. Anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I stopped buying sticks long time ago. All it takes is just piece of plastic, double sided mounting tape and sandpaper of required grit and 5-10 minutes of work. Or just reuse old sticks core replacing sandpaper. Old stuff is easily removed with little help from Ronsonol. Edited October 7, 2019 by Helmsman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Visit the cosmetics counter at your local drug store and check out the wide variety of nail files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Someone please answer the original question; I'd like to know as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
planeboy Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Are you referring to those 4-in-1 sanding sticks? If so, TwoBobs sells them for $3.00 on their site. I love those things. They seem to last forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to last forever. At least the one I got was just a single 600 grit. I’ll have to take a look either way though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Sorry don't know who makes those for Spruebrothers. Recently my wife bought me some for the ridiculous price of $0.89 CDN. Lots of different grits and I especially like the polishing ones, which I use for the canopies. She got them at a local beauty supply store. They normally supply products to hair dressers (or are they called hair technicians now?). Not sure if you need a special card to buy from them though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 ditto the "visit the cosmetics counter" at Walmart> tons of styles and a grit. Cheap too. Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camus27 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think Flory also sells some. I haven't tried them, but will on my next order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkwan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They are the Infini Premium Ultra Precision Soft Sanding Sticks: http://store.spruebrothers.com/searchresults.asp?Search=infipm&Submit= Inexpensive sanding sticks that are really good and last a long time. This is why we choose this stick for the promotion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Oh and don't be cheap and go to Dollarama (Canadian chain). Bought 10 sanding sticks for $1. Yup probably ok for the what it was meant for but I always wet sand and they fell apart. Made of card stock and some sort of crappy glue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Ditto on visiting the local cosmetics counter. The "sanding sticks" you see being sold by online shops, are exactly the same as you'd find at the cosmetics counter....and usually twice the price. You can find all sorts of different grits, as well as 4-in-1 sticks for buffing. They work great on canopies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonyKen Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 All, I get all of my sanding sticks and pads at Sally Beauty Outlets. They last a long time even in wet sanding conditions and they are cheap too. My wife has a discount card from Sally from when she was a beautician years ago, which makes them even cheaper.

Jagdtiger46 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have no idea about the Sprue versions; I use CRM sticks, and they're excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
