Sanding & Finishing with a Dremel.....Plus Tips

[@idarogers341]

Thanks for doing this video; I've wanted someone to show sanding and polishing with a Dremel for a very long time. I only knew how to polish with one with the little white woolly attachments; I did not know how to sand. I like your sanding options with the different grits and will get what you have shared in this video from now on. I am so glad you were willing to share your technique. Thank again Kathryn. You are an awesome artist that I love to watch.

oh my word! This couldn't come more timely! Thank you Kathryn!

[@KathrynHalstead]

You are so welcome!

[@shirley6996]

Thanks for this video, you have no idea how helpful it's been, I have been having so much trouble buffing my pieces with my dremel, having it cut groves in my projects, I gave up trying to make it work. I had no idea that I was using the wrong items, have ordered the cotton buffing wheels and sanding wheels. I couldn't get anyone to tell me what I was doing wrong. Thank you again.

[@KathrynHalstead]

aw you are more than welcome Shirley....just take your time practice on some scraps you'll soon nail it xx

[@Toltecgrl]

Wow! What a difference! Thank you for sharing your technique!

[@janiceburnes2757]

Thank you so much for this!! Here's to no more hand cramps from hand sanding and buffing!!

[@KathrynHalstead]

You're so welcome!

[@cherie_colours]

Thanks Kathryn I bought the sanding discs. Looking forward to trying them. Thank you for your video's, they're very helpful to beginner's!

[@Embracetherandom]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! You are the best!

[@shirleyburton6957]

Thank you Ms K. I have a few puffy heads, now I when to use the and the affects, the sand paper girt is important as well. Thank you again

[@KathrynHalstead]

you're welcome

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Really helpful video - thanks so much, Kathryn. 💚

[@laneoesterle-miller5853]

Kathryn I so miss your tutorials. I hope you are ok and feeling well.

[@Raynecolwell]

I know, I’ve been thinking the same.

[@promoplus100]

I also use a hand piece for polishing works wonderfully

[@0LorreneBaumDavis0]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing, Katheryn.

[@KathrynHalstead]

Thanks for watching!

[@suzanteman6376]

I was laughing when that piece kept flying out of your hands because been there done that! 😂🤣 Who knew clay could be so dangerous! 🤣😂😜Thanks for the video. Great seeing what the different results are. I can see that a stand would be helpful so you can have two hands to hold the little trouble makers from escaping.

[@KathrynHalstead]

I have a little vice that works a treat ( it has soft inserts so gentle on the clay) but its such a faff to keep moving the piece that i don't often use it now

[@John-I-McLeod]

GREAT tips - thanks. What type of UV lamp do you use please? Thanks.

[@marymary5494]

Lidl often have a box of affordable accessories for dremel or equivalent tool.

[@lovice43]

Great video, beautiful 💯thanks

[@MyAutismChannel]

I can’t wait to get my drimel. I see the issue I’m going to have already 😂. Hubby already said he won’t be sitting anywhere near me when I’m using it. (Sending it flying).

[@anvan47]

Very helpful Kathryn. Thanks so much!

[@KathrynHalstead]

You are so welcome!

[@nuna4307]

Hey Kathryn, thank you for sharing, what kind of stand are you using, would you show us please n thank you.

[@EmbraceTheChakra]

would i use all the same things in sequence to sand and polish a resin pyramid

[@scweeeker1]

Thanks for tutorial, so very helpful as I was trying my hand at some jewelry making… epic fail, my pieces were zinging everywhere.

[@pattiunderwood7026]

I bought those sander heads and love them!

[@sndygskylr]

❤! What kind , model is the Dremmil you use? Thanks

[@pjshat]

Great video! Thank you!

[@carolewilliams6177]

Thanks for this Kathryn, I’ve recently bought a dremel to change for my cheapo one I bought to start off with. Can you show your stand you have for it please x

[@KathrynHalstead]

here's a link www.amazon.co.uk/Dremel-Workstation-Flex-Shaft-Drilling-Woodworking/dp/B0012RQG94

[@carolewilliams6177]

Thanks for the link, great help as it has a video too x

[@anitaparikh6415]

Carole, May I ask which dremel did you get? I recently got a dremel 3000 and would Ike to know if it was a good choice. Please help 🙏🏼

[@brendanewton9440]

Where do I buy the little disc and sand paper please

[@mayabeading]

Another great help video! I use a combo of sandpaper’s (wet/dry) and the Dremel buffers. I so not like getting my hands wet for long periods, so the 1 inch attachments you use are a great tip. I need to get those. Just a note, the Dremel has different inserts you can purchase that fit smaller or larger mandrels. So, no need to tape them. 😊 I think that insert is called a collette, but I could be wrong on that name.

[@KathrynHalstead]

thanks Maya, I have the collets but mine don't fit in the 'snake attachment' only in the actual Dremel

[@johannaridderland9331]

What Drwmel do you use? It seems smaller than the Stylo.

[@veraharrison5897]

Ee am wetting myself at this piece flinging on the floor Kathryn made my morning haha thanks for this tho x

[@KathrynHalstead]

Ha ha ha ha ...... its a good job it was muted the air was blue ha ha ha ha

[@kateyoung4088]

So informative…thank you❤️

[@KathrynHalstead]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Toltecgrl]

Has anybody done this to their polymer clay charms? Or is it more for flat items like jewelry and beads? I’d like to make my chibi charms shinier without using resin.

[@pearljenner3914]

Hi kat, I ordered some of those polishing balls. Am I doing something wrong because loads of fluff is flying out of mine? Lol any ideas 💡 it’s like loads of the fluff seems to be flying off 😘

[@anitaparikh6415]

Which Dremel do you have? Style? 3000? Thank you for showing us how you finish your piece. I need to do a better job in finishing the piece and this video is encouraging me to get a dremel

[@norcaldata]

Thank you so much! You’re the best🥰🥰🥰

[@KathrynHalstead]

you're so welcome, hope it helps you out x

[@ruggeri2b]

Bonjour Kathryn.. je vois la vidéo que maintenant 😰 merci merci merci 🙏 Je fais souvent des ponçages sur les bracelets et c'est très long 😰 j'utilise parfois 6 grains différents 🤯🤯🤯 maintenant je serai mins fatiguée 😘😘👍👍🤣🤣 merci beaucoup ❤

[@lindseycash412]

This may be a dumb question, but what does she mean by burnishing the clay with paper? Like a piece of paper and an acrylic block on top? TIA 💕

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Hi Lindsey, you burnish with a piece of paper and an acrylic roller. You just rub the roller over the paper in circles. Jill

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

You don’t press hard or anything.

[@abbysadventures274]

Great video 🤩

[@KathrynHalstead]

Thanks Abby

[@heatherlloyd3940]

What speed do you use for your polishing/buffing? I haven’t had good luck with the yellow wheel, even my puff ball sometimes takes divots out or just doesn’t polish well.

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Hi there, sounds like your piece needs more rougher sanding if you still have duvets, before buffing. Jill

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Oops duvets!

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Oops again divets

[@Julsfr]

Thank you, cool info 🗼 Just wondering, my pasta machine is a atlas, but it starts on 1 as the thickest But it is 15 years or so old 😁😁

[@KathrynHalstead]

ha ha ha yes mines pretty new compared to yours and zero is the thickest setting

[@lindaevans4649]

Katherine, you mentioned a drill stand, can you provide a link for purchase?

[@KathrynHalstead]

I don’t think so I use Sculpey quite a bit too and that gets a lovely gloss also

[@Daniela-cc9lo]
