Reddit reviews Bluecell Pack of 12 Sandpaper abrasive dry/wet paper Sheets 400/600/800/1000/1200/1500 Grit 9" x 3.6" hobby tool

> Terrible factory milspec trigger though.

A few minutes with this plus some white lithium grease can reallllly help out mil-spec triggers.

Once you clean them up, a generic mil-spec trigger is probably your best trigger for the money.

Some will point you towards getting the tamiya knife, and here's a similar style olfa art knife. Note the replacement blades for the olfa. I also happen to use snap off blades, in addition to xacto and the tamiya knife. I have an olfa one. I happen to not use exacto knives for gundam anymore though. The tamiya model knife and olfa snap off meet my needs just fine due to the angles of cuts I tend to make and angle of the cutting edges of the knives.

And some sand paper, since you included putty.

And lastly, some cheap ass brushes to go along with good paint brushes; decent tooth pics (if you snap it off, the thin layers of wood can be a cheap fine detail brush)... etc.

You can make it effectively solid, which will make it a lot more comfortable on your skin, especially if you want to wear for a while. Look for a product called instamorph. It's basically just little plastic beads that melt when put in hot water.

Melt a bunch of it and roll it into a cylinder about the diameter of a pencil. This way you can easily remelt it if necessary. Also put your ring in hot water so that it warms up a bit. Once both are good and hot, work the instamorph liberally into the groove; you want to have it spilling a little out of the groove. Be sure to push plastic into any air gaps.

Do one side, then melt more plastic and do the other side. Then put the whole thing in cold water for a while to cool.

All that's left now is to sand away the excess plastic and then polish it smooth. Start with a coarse grit, like 60 or 80, and get it pretty close to the shape you want. Then just use finer and finer grits to do your successive shaping and smoothing. A pack of different fine grits like this should be pretty good for what you need.

A few other thoughts:

• Be sure to round the edges slightly.
  
• Lay the sand paper on a flat surface and move the ring against the paper to get the front and back really flat and consistent.
  
• Wrap some sand paper around something round to do the inside of the ring.
  
• If your cage came with extra rings that you don't think you'd ever use, you can practice before committing to modifying the one that fits.
  
  I did this modification to my ring and it was like a whole different product. I couldn't go more than a day or so before my skin got pressed into the groove and became really tender. Now with a little lotion I don't have any problems down there from the ring.

How do you plan on maintaining those stones?

Why not start with a smaller investment?
