I have a ceramic plate that is very shallow and is almost even in its concavity. Yet in the middle, there is a slight bulge up.For an art project, I need to get the plate perfectly (or close to perfectly) concave, so I‘d like to sand down that middle part.Does anyone have any tips on how I can do this, preferably by hand?Thanks!
Center it on a (motorized) spinning plate (like the ones used to throw ceramic shapes) and depending on the material of the plate (glazed, not glazed etc) glue it to the plate with something you can remove (silicon for example). Then simply use different sandpaper grades to do the job. If you don't have access to a motorized turntable (most community colleges have them) you can turn it by hand (even a lazy susan) but that would take ages. Use sandpaper for metal, not for wood. Also, wrap the sandpaper on a block of wood or aluminum to make sure you sand evenly, good luck
put a treat in it and let him go in in his own time. when he goes in praise him so he knows it is good to walk up into it. good luck
I would try training him to jump up. Use small treats and use a simple command like, Up! or something like that.
In the previous answer, the adhesive is silicone, not silicon. And most of the points are good, but if you go to paint supply source the black sandpaper emory cloth comes in various abrasive grits and if you mount pieces on wood to give handles (rubber cement or silicone adhesive work nicely) you can shape the wood and apply considerable force to the small area you need and take it down fairly quickly.
throw a treat in there or buy him some steps to climb up.
