Simple "Nail File/ Emery Board" Made From Toothbrush

This is not my idea, I just want to share with u.

Sand the used toothbrush and stick sandpaper on it with double-sided tape.

Then it become a simple files and specially good for sanding plastic model.

Remarks

u can also stick sandpaper on popstick or a piece of acrylic sheet.

not exactly files, more like sanding blocks, i have dome same thing with a vibrating toothbrush and one with an old battery electric toothbrush so it rotates, both have a thin sponge between the sanding surface and the former brush head.

Thx, I don't know the exact wording of this item, but I found that "nail file" is similar to this, so I called it "file", maybe I change it to "nail file".

For the the electric one, here are the commercial products for your interest.

well its more an emery board, a nail file is still a metal file. emery board is pretty much sandpaper or emery cloth glued to a stick X3

I thought that nail files may either be emery boards, ceramic, glass, crystal, plain metal files.....

Good idea! Thanks for passing it along.

BTW, the word "file" works for me. IMHO, it became a file when you attached the abrasive to a handle.
