Sanding a transwhite blade.

[morpheus1977]

Quick question I have sanded all the blades I have recieved from Tim (it just looks really nice when done right). Well I just ordered one of his transwhite blades. I wanted to give it a shot. What I wanted to know is has anybody sanded one of these blades? Would it be worth it?

I have a 3/4" blade with Corbin-style film, polywrap and sanded at 600grit

I also have a 3/4" blade in the trans-white that has no alterations.

If I had to pick between the two, I'd say the trans-white is more even, and the tip isn't as dark.

As such, I don't know how much better you'd get with any further sanding of the trans-white.

thanks for the infor. I have been sanding all of my blades so its kind of a habbit. (pull it out of the box and head straight for the sandpaper. I will give this a shot first to see how it looks.

Thats good to hear. I saw the one on the Darth Nihilus saber you posted it looked really good. BUT you know how things look different on video LOL

They look much better in person. My camera is very crappy.

Take some 1500 grit to it. It will get rid of the glare from ambient lighting. Helps the blade look better in areas that aren't totally dark.

I plan to try this with trans blades myself. They look great in brighter lighting situations except the shiny tube reflects other light sources.

I did this with Parvus Laetitia. It turned out awesome, it is the most even blade that I own.
