Tools - Red (coarse) Sandpaper

Easy

The unsung hero of your kit. Use your coarser red sandpaper to shape your wax, and later, yellow sandpaper to refine and add shine to the surface of your design.

The sandpaper duo are perfect for crafting your perfect shape with ease and speed. However, as your wax becomes thinner, it also becomes more delicate. It's important not to place too much pressure through the wax as your work on it. Our best advice is to gently press the wax into the red sandpaper, and let the coarseness do the work for you.
