teeny tiny small parts

[Paulw]

How do you sand down the small, tiny parts that are impossible to hold between your fingers. That escapes me just as much as seeing said same parts.

I pinch the heck out of them and use a half round jewelers file.

Clean up everything you can while it's still on the sprue. Carefully cut the part free, then stick it into a blob of blue tack with the remaining area that needs cleaning sticking out. Carefully clean and remove from the putty blob. Done!

Sounds good to me, thanks Chuk

I use flat pliers to old the parts also. :zen

chuckw nailed it, but when you forget as I do and remove them, I also find those tweezers that you have to squeez to open work particularly well

Chuck gave you the right answer, but I'll tell you what I do.

I cut to the chase and gather all the parts together in a pile and throw them over my left shoulder.

Not only will they end up there anyway, but I hear it's good luck to boot.
