Everybody on here, sands the internal corners with the triangular head attachment on their new Flex Vario Plus drywall sanders - In our dreams, that is.

Someone must break soon and buy one!
Sorry Marcus to much for me that moment, all spare money being sucked by my house.
Must continue to dream!
I'm such a tool whore.

Back on topic
I use flex edge foam pad on stick to clean up internals and reveals and foam sanding block for corners.

we could all share one just take turns,can i have it first

just use your sanding pole m8, foam pads are handy though for checking over.

I know I know I know I know I know I want IT, I want IT I want to love IT, feel IT, wrap myself around IT.

Hi tj, i`ve been jointing for many a year now and the best way to sand corners is to get someone else to do it..

Best price i have found is.... are you holding onto something... Hook and Loop Abrasive Paper Triangular £51 +vat http://www.walls-and-ceilings.co.uk/...ts.asp?cat=116

**crack filler** · 31-10-2010, 08:45 AM

Stuff that looks a lovely bit of kit but can it be that good, 250 sanding sponges off eBay for £25 and my old porter cable will have to do.

Just over £2 a piece then. Would pay that just to keep the dust out of my van.

Make your triangle pads
A pair of sissors and an old pad.
Just an idea.

**turrican_007** · 01-11-2010, 04:23 PM

I have been told that when you switch to corner sanding it makes the whole machine vibrate like mad.

I clean internal 90's with a pole sander tuned to be flush on one side, with a 1 mil proud edge on the sandpaper ( I'll post a picture when the camera capable of Macro photography gets here) but, if I am in a rush, I run a true'd 5" knife down the corner to square it, same for 3ways. Using a like new 5" as a cabinet scraper has made corners much easier. When sanding I find that 2- 4 strokes with a super sander pole are all that a corner needs. my 4" corner finisher may have something to do with that result though. ...and our softer North American compound.
