How to get rid of the "Fuzzies"

[Darin Bastedo]

when you grind the backing out of a grill or open the holes in a wheel or anything like that you always get the "Fuzzies" little hairs of plastic the seem to resist getting cut, sanded, or blown off. what are you to do? (you can see them in the grill below)

to get rid of these take your favorite liquid glue, (Ambriod proweld, tenax, testors) dip a bush into it, dab off the glue until the brush is just damp with it, and bush where the "fuzzies" are. they are so small that they instantly dissolve away and you are left with clean openings in the grill

I like your tip. I've done it myself a few times. Sometimes however the 'fuzzies' and the keeper plastic is very close to the same size and you risk melting the whole thing.

Try sanding the back side with fine sandpaper. Work it like a paint job, 400,600,1200, etc. You will probably find the fuzzies get very small and go away.

I still like your tip. It's easier. 8)
