Here is another sanding strip trick. Wrap the project with a length of the sanding strip, it can overlap itself but wrap it fairly tight, then wrap that a few turns with a shoelace or piece of cording. Grab the ends of the cording and do a pull/push kinda motion. The cord grips the strip all the way around and makes it turn so it easily sands the project as you simply pull the cord. More tension on the cord means more pressure applied to the strip. Easy peasy. This also works pretty well with a rag for hand polishing things.
