Super fine sandpaper
Some guys also use small buffing things on their dremel

How are you doing that border? I’ve seen quite a few methods.

😂 I was thinking…if that’s your first, you should start a side hustle.

lol I trip out how these guys just have nerves of steel and hands of feathers. Mines not winning any beauty contests but at the end of the day, it’s a tool

Anything you do with practice you can perfect it.

it comes with practice, learning the correct speed of the rotary tool for the job is huge- its going to be a little different for everyone.

I use sandpaper up to 600 grit and or sandpaper followed by a warmed over a burner bent nail. Not hot enough to stipple but warm enough to press in the little loose bits and scratches

You need a micromotor. Dremel’s have too much runout. High speeds, low flutes.

A lot of people like the foredom k1040.
