Questions about this product
Why are there several different 40-gauge points?
The blade and barb placement differ. Comparing them at the same gauge helps you choose how you want to work the surface.
Should I choose this as my only pack for a large rough shape?
Compare a kit that includes coarser shaping points if you need to build and compact the core as well as finish it.
Why are some crown needles useful for adding a small feature?
Their barbs sit near the tip. Compare a sample to see if the point suits the depth and placement the feature needs.
