Here is a tip for holding little items while sanding from @hausofmonarch - “Today I was getting frustrated with the mobility of double sided tape and how often I needed to change it while sanding. So I decided to try something new! I warmed a piece of my jewelers wax in my fingers and applied it to the end of my solder pick then placed the piece of metal that I was sanding on top. Voila! It stays in place excellently and streamlines my process.” YES! Love anything that helps save our fingers!
