Can of Compressed Air
We recommend you use this to clear debris from minute cracks and dust leftover from sanding off pieces you are either gluing or painting. 7. Magnifying Glass We recommend you get yourself a headband type magnifier, as you are likely to have both hands occupied with your work at all times. Gooseneck models are also available. 8. Good Lighting A good desktop lamp will help you work long hours and minute details without having too many problems with eye fatigue. It is important to note that halogen light bulbs provide better definition than incandescent light bulbs. 9. Magnifying Tweezers Magnifying tweezers are most often used by electronics technicians, but we're sure you'll find good use for them in your arsenal. 10. Dental Mirror Another very useful instrument in the war against lost bits and pieces. allows you access to the deepest recesses of your work, without having to strain, or miniaturize yourself to go inside. 11. Panavise The Panavise is most often used in electronics applications, but we highly recommend it simply because it's best suited to hold small or delicate components. Perfect for holding together two glued pieces during setting. 12. Extra Hands Magnifier This peculiar item is very useful when you only have two hands to work with. Two alligator clips hold parts securely while you glue or paint, and the lot is ball-joint mounted for easy angle adjustments. Of course, the magnifier is also useful. |
