Anyone have suggestions on how to sand topography carves while maintaining the details?

Hi @spcnc,

I think if you send it by email it keeps the quality! You can send me the pictures at molly_saynavong@sienci.com

That was a perfectly fine coffee ruining a perfectly fine monitor.

Can you please not do that, @mollysaynavong !

@spcnc I’ve never done topography (living in the Netherlands, there’s not much to graphy around here.), but I’ve seen some amazing results floating in this forum.

Let me find it back and post it here to find the peeps that do have experience in the field.

@spcnc I have something similar to these by 3M and they work very well to remove the fuzzies without damaging the details.

@spcnc I think that we should all express our gratitude to @mollysaynavong for her kind offer to sand our projects. No woodworker of my acquaintance likes sanding, so this is a particularly fine gesture on her part. :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:
