Emery Boards Sand Tight Corners
To remove stubborn squeeze-out from tight corners, I turn to my little stack of emery boards—the type used for filing and shaping fingernails. I use tin snips to create a square tip on the end of a fresh board, and then sand into the corner. Emery boards have coarse and fine sides, and I use both. —DAVID GLEASON, Houston, Pa.
