Sanding supplies your wife may have.
While shopping with my wife, I went with her in a professional beauty supply store. Glad I did, and you need to go also.
Go to the finger nail area. They have sanding spouges, in neon colors, which makes them easy to find on you work bench. Sanding boards with plastic backs, in various grits. These are not the standard nail file. They are 6" X 1", and easy to handle. All at cheaper prices then anything similar to it at a building supply store. They work great. I used the sanding board with extra fine grit and final sanded a wing on an ultimate, and I am hooked. The sponge worked great on the leading edge.
They also have CA, but it isn't that cheap. I need to go back now and see what other items may work.

RE: Sanding supplies your wife may have.
Oh yeah, I ALWAYS check out the sewing section as I wander through the local Wal-Mart. It's almost like a treasure hunt. 
My most recent find is a rotary cutter that really does a nice job on cutting curves on Monokote. It looks like a little pizza wheel and is razor sharp. No idea how long it will stay sharp, but it works really well so far.

Lots of good finds in the craft and sewing sections.
If you build SPADS you can find a seam ripper in the sowing section that works great for cutting out flutes to make hinges. The sowing measuring tapes that are made of ribbons (dont know what the name is) are also great for accurately measuring over curves. I use it a bunch when I monokote.

It will stay sharp a long time if you use it on a cutting mat, also available at sewing stores. A bit pricey but worth it, lasts forever. Also works great on polyester and dacron covering, like koverall.

Next time you are in Wal-Mart, the craft section carries X-ACTO blades and knives, at a good price. Then too, this purchase comes out of the household budget, not the modeling one --- LOL.

Minn,
I'm sorry your marriage is not that good.
I enjoy going shopping with my wife - course we usually go in different directions.
I often see some very attractive young ladies in the beauty shop and supply store.
Next time she goes join her, enjoy the sights and buy her lunch.
Who knows what might happen later :-).

RE: Sanding supplies your wife may have.
Uh-huh...
Here's a typical conversation between my wife and I:
Her: Which do you like better, the blue one or the green one?
Me: The blue one
Her: But the green one has these nice frilly things, and it's lighter and cooler for summer, and it's $10 less.
Me: Ok, so get the green one.
Her: Well, what's wrong with the blue one???
This (Or something like it) happens EVERY time we go shopping. And not just once, but with every #$%& thing she looks at!
AND SHE LOOKS AT EVERYTHING!!!!!
Still want to know why I refuse to go shopping with her??

RE: Sanding supplies your wife may have.
i do my letching at my youngest daughters school,lots of yummy mummies there!,i have found our local haberdashers to be a good source of goods for r.c. use,good quality velcro,sewing machine bobbins make good hubs for spoked wheels and embroidery stretcher frames make good rims,upholstery thread is strong enough for pull-pull controls and rigging.
