sanding a tight corner

[sunnybob]

i've made hard work for myself here, i've cut a bandsaw box shape i havent done before, and cant get anything to sand into the corner with.
This is not the exact shape, but its a similar acute angle.

Any suggestions as to how i can sand right into the corner?

Which corner, the acute one on the base?

I've stuck a bit of sand paper to a lolly stick before now and used it to get into tight spots. Works pretty well. I expect a better, face palm for me idea will be along soon.

 

[sunnybob]

yes. the really, really tight one that I should have known better not to make.

Axbridge? is the salty monk still there?

I'd just managed to convince a local that was his new nickname.

I use 6mm mdf cut around the size of a lolly stick but cut the sides at an angle so you can get right into the corners
i use spray mount to glue the sandpaper to it and if youve angled the sides you can use both sides
or if you have no mdf or dont like it 6mm birch ply works well and lasts longer

Good suggestions made already. Abranet and ingenuity. I always have some long nailfile strips, but a knife and fine sandpaper can get anywhere.

Lets see the box when it's done please.

Going to try the hacksaw blade first, but i got too enthusiastic with the bandsaw and its not only a very acute angle, its curved down into it as well.
Another learning curve.

I have used a scraper in tight places to remove finish and clean up surfaces.

The hacksaw blade worked fine thanks. Surprised I didnt think of that myself.
