Abstract
A "U" shaped support mounting a handle to a top surface thereof is positioned over a molding portion, wherein the support includes an opening through the top wall to receive a hardening compound, such as an epoxy resin, to fill a confronting cavity between the top wall and the mold member. The mold member is initially coated with a non-adhering coating such as a lubricant to permit ease of removal of the support subsequent to use, with the mold upon hardening coated with an adhesive and abrasive material for use as a sanding tool.
Claims4
A method of making a finishing tool to include an abrasive surface complementary to a molding member top surface, wherein the molding member includes spaced side walls spaced apart a predetermined spacing, wherein the method of forming the tool comprises,
- providing a "U" shaped support, including a support top wall with a handle mounted to the top wall,
- parallel side wall flanges, and
- the top wall including a top wall opening, and
- positioning the "U" shaped support over the molding member, directing a hardening compound through the top wall opening, and thereby creating a mirror image mold configuration of the molding member between the top wall, the side wall flanges, and the molding member top surface wherein "U" shaped support and the mirror image mold configuration are secured together when the hardening compound cures.
