ANIE’S TIP:
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAN AND PROTECTED
Use
3M™
SELF-ADHERING VETRAP™ to keep fingers and nails clean!
Simply cut to size, wrap over and around.
Don’t overtighten so you can re-use your “finger caps”!

T-10G
ANIE’S TIPS:
- Use these steps for jewelry, car parts, custom metal work, etc..
- Always let your abrasives do the work, use a gentle touch, do NOT use force!
- Gently apply your piece to the spinning abrasive disc, making full contact.
- Keep moving your piece to achieve a much-desired uniform shape (or polish)
- You can also use a certain step individually if that is your desired final finish.
