For sanding in tight spots that even an oscillating multitool can’t get to, apply pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed sandpaper to a wide reciprocating-saw blade, and use your reciprocating saw as a sander.

Mr. Chason, I "Might" try your tip "Sometime". IF "I do"I'll Reverse the Blade in my Saw. "Maybe" Using a Reciprocating SAW with a "Modified" Hack Saw blade instead Might "WORK" better?
I "Think" I'll stay with My oscillating tool for now.
I've "Certainly" NEVER Tried This, but "Using" a Reciprocating Saw to "Sand" tight spots "Sounds" a Little "Tricky" to me.
What's wit all the quotations and capital letters? Are you William Shatner?!?
