    Here in the UK we have vehicle number plates made from acrylic. I had a couple of number plate blanks lying around and used these with the masking tape idea to make a handle. Finished off a grp hardtop I modded. Worked really well. Thanks for the vid.

    Someone said it takes a village! Well, when it comes to blocking, it take a tool box full. I have take packing hard foam blocks to help sand primer on real complex shapes, like the center of a 1967 C10 truck hood. Talk about a complex shape that get smaller and fades from large to small, good luck! It take a tool box full of blocks including acrylic with a rounded lead edge to a paint stick or cut yard stick ruler.
    Thanks!

    Good video. I work for a custom body shop and the Lucky Blocks by Lucky Matt's is what we use too. We also use the Durablocks to just rough things in then right to the acrylic blocks. Your so right it was a game changer!

      @@OutlawEdge hell yeah, that's badass bro congratulations on the sponsor. Back when I worked in a collision shop living in Alaska I used the Durablocks for all my bodywork then for primer I blocked it with a piece of aluminum stick which I cut down to fit the half sheets for wet sanding. I still have that aluminum stick lol

    Hard blocks cut better than those soft blocks...dura blocks really aren't soft there firm blocks...but they still have give to them....i still use ppg paint sticks for blocking...lol...and then final sand wet with 500-600 grit on a soft block ....Good video man...👍...good work buddy looks great!!

    U R right about lighting but as far as those acrylic blocks go they are hard to grip onto 4 one. I would revert to the old fashion blocks before I went that route. I got some Dura Block knock off cheapos on Amazon about a year ago completely satisfied for as much blocking as I do...

    I saw a pro fab shop in Aussie land that produced great work, use this same idea with plexi glass and masking tape to make their sanding blocks. They swore up and down that they are perfect for getting things straight and their really flexible which is what you want.

    Lol or you can just buy some acrylic and cut it yourself. When I did high end aircraft interiors I would use 1/2 inch thick stone slate blocks and I loved them. They were impossible to bend and flat within .000005 of an inch. These acrylic blocks are a joke though and not practical. I could only imagine how destroyed my hands would be gripping a thin piece of tape blocking all day.

    First of all cant believe u actually went online and ordered these from someone when u can just go and buy plexy and cut it to any size u want.
    U can just glue a handle on those for easier holding aswell as putting a sticking paper on the bottom so u can exchange sandpaper.

    • @OutlawEdge
      @OutlawEdge  Před 4 lety +4

      Time is money my friend, and its important to support other small businesses. Also by the time you buy all of the different plexiglass thicknesses in full sheets, cut them, tape them and account for the time it takes, and the rest of the plexiglass you have left over that you may never use, it's a bargain. There are about 36 different sizes shapes and thicknesses, all taped and ready to go out of the box. We certainly thought about cutting our own, as you can see, but when I weighed alllllll of that information above, it was awesome to be able to just shoot Matt a message and order them. Thanks for your comment though! -Heidi

      You have no idea how much i love seeing someone else say this. Durablocks are garbage imo. And it drives me up the wall seeing people try to use those stiff ass blocks on round and curved panels. I just have to laugh at people who try to smooth a bowling ball using a 2x4

      @@suprchargrhvn so how do you sand a 2-way compound curve, like where a curved roof meets a curved side, so multiple radiuses in orthogonal directions? I've been thinking of buying a set of Durablocks as the only way to avoid scuffing in flats, but happy not to make the purchase if there is a better way.

      @@kevinwells768 I have used the motorguard kit for the last 10 years and they have treated me very well. They will form to a panel far more than durablocks will. Depending on the curves you are tying to sand (because i cant quite picture this in my head) you may need to look into a set of soft sanders blocks as they come with all different shapes to sand all different kinds of lines and grooves too. Last but not least i just ordered a set of linear blocking tools' polycarbonate blocks. However i'm still waiting for them to get here so i cannot give any feedback at the moment
