I use superglue to stick a small piece of micarta to my guards and spacers to hand sand the faces on a granite slab. Recently, I made a small Ulu and was trying to figure out how to do the finish sanding on the flats. Well, here's another use for the super glue and micarta trick. Next up will be folder blades and springs....

And using it to hold the blade in a vice mounted to the side of the bench for hand sanding.

🤔how does the glue hold at higher grits? as i have noticed, epoxies dont hold well the higher polishs.
