Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:05.419
Freedom. This is my Dura-Gold contoured hand-sanding

00:00:05.419 --> 00:00:07.381
block kit. I did not use every

00:00:07.381 --> 00:00:09.259
shape, but the profiles I used did

00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:11.235
the job well. I liked the sandpaper

00:00:11.341 --> 00:00:13.070
and considered the kit good value,

00:00:13.176 --> 00:00:14.328
even though I did not need the

00:00:14.328 --> 00:00:17.229
entire assortment. The matching product picture shows

00:00:17.229 --> 00:00:19.726
several curved working profiles and the handle

00:00:19.746 --> 00:00:23.098
arrangement. The set includes convex and concave

00:00:23.098 --> 00:00:26.042
shapes. Hook-and-loop surfaces hold the abrasive against

00:00:26.042 --> 00:00:28.517
the selected profile. The block supplies the

00:00:28.517 --> 00:00:30.778
supporting shape, while the sandpaper is the

00:00:30.778 --> 00:00:32.903
replaceable material doing the sanding.

00:00:33.063 --> 00:00:35.304
My build photographs show the heater-opening area

00:00:35.324 --> 00:00:37.500
during finishing and after white paint around

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.975
it. The preparation work included cut edges

00:00:39.975 --> 00:00:41.724
and corners as well as a surrounding

00:00:41.724 --> 00:00:44.647
flat area. Those photographs provide the broader

00:00:44.647 --> 00:00:46.823
finishing context for the sanding supplies in

00:00:46.823 --> 00:00:49.661
my kit. The workshop footage illustrates general

00:00:49.725 --> 00:00:51.219
measuring and holding work.

00:00:51.303 --> 00:00:53.364
Shape and grit are separate choices.

00:00:53.545 --> 00:00:55.380
A flat face and a curved face

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:57.792
support the abrasive differently against the work.

00:00:57.898 --> 00:00:59.860
The grit describes the abrasive attached to

00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:02.485
that support. Changing one does not automatically

00:01:02.505 --> 00:01:04.617
change the other. That is the useful

00:01:04.617 --> 00:01:06.623
distinction behind a collection of shaped hand

00:01:06.623 --> 00:01:08.927
blocks. My experience with this kit was

00:01:08.927 --> 00:01:11.145
good value. I did not need every

00:01:11.145 --> 00:01:12.438
block in the assortment.

00:01:12.534 --> 00:01:14.326
The profiles I did use worked well

00:01:14.326 --> 00:01:15.990
for my purposes, and I liked the

00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:18.657
sandpaper. Having unused shapes in the case

00:01:18.678 --> 00:01:20.342
did not change that assessment of the

00:01:20.342 --> 00:01:21.783
parts I actually used.

00:01:21.986 --> 00:01:23.778
The cut opening and painted area help

00:01:23.778 --> 00:01:26.189
explain the stages around the finishing supplies.

00:01:26.338 --> 00:01:29.069
Cutting came before abrasive preparation and coating.

00:01:29.154 --> 00:01:31.927
Corners, edges and broad flat faces presented

00:01:31.927 --> 00:01:34.761
different working shapes. A chosen block supports

00:01:34.761 --> 00:01:36.916
the abrasive against the area being worked,

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:38.900
rather than making every profile do the

00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:42.270
same job. My page compares two researched

00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:44.958
alternatives. The three M rubber block has

00:01:44.958 --> 00:01:47.060
a more uniform rectangular support.

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:49.822
The Dura-Block standard block provides a longer

00:01:49.885 --> 00:01:52.233
rectangular working face and hand grip.

00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:55.389
Their matching pictures show simpler fixed-shape formats

00:01:55.389 --> 00:01:57.214
beside the contoured assortment.

00:01:57.288 --> 00:01:58.782
They are comparison options,

00:01:58.867 --> 00:02:00.659
rather than the kit I reviewed.

00:02:00.787 --> 00:02:02.835
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:02:02.835 --> 00:02:04.829
Camper Van Freedom. I did not use

00:02:04.829 --> 00:02:07.133
every Dura-Gold block, but the profiles I

00:02:07.133 --> 00:02:09.331
used worked well, I liked the sandpaper

00:02:09.437 --> 00:02:10.675
and the kit was good value for

00:02:10.675 --> 00:02:12.062
me. The full review,

00:02:12.211 --> 00:02:14.344
matching pictures and current buying options are
