I'm planning on modding my shengshou 4x4 according to cyoubx's tutorial, but I only have 120 grit sandpaper, not 150 grit. Will this be fine, or should I get 150 grit sandpaper?

Thanks!

A dremel will work the best on hollowing out the corner base. BTW Why would you do this when there are allot better cubes out there like the Weilong, Sulong, Chilong, SS wind, CX3,and many others?
I'm a huge fan lover of the F2 and it's rounded cubies and bubbly feel. The shengshou aurora doesn't even compare to it. In fact, the F1 is better than the F2.. I like the feel of it, and it's shape allows me to grip it easier because it's not a flat surface (my hands produces a lot of oil so cubes slip from my hand when I OH). I have a fangshi, huanying, zhanchi, guhong, and other popular cubes, but the F2 suits me the best.

What's the nail file for?
What would you reccomend for the edges indentations?

With the Dremel it will get most of the sanding done but with the nail file it will smoothen it out to make it less rough. Also with the knife it will not do much cause not really meant to cut trough thick plastic that easily like it would with paper.

Michael; the knife is typically not used for cutting in cube modding; instead, you take it and hold it near perpendicular to the cube and scrape plastic off in little shavings. I personally find that method to be my favorite for modding, especially over sandpaper. Sandpaper is just really messy.
A nail file is probably a bit safer on more exposed surfaes if you're afraid of cutting yourself.

My ShengShou 4x4 v5 locks up on on the inner layers all the time and I was thinking of konsta modding it. I've heard that the v5 doesn't really need the mod, but I'm sure mine does. Will I be able to use cyoubx's mod tutorial for the v5?

so I have a bunch of mini 3x3s, any ideas for shape mods?
I was thinking something like adding extensions for a 3x3x5 look,
or a half truncated cube.

EDIT- trying to remove accidental double post
