How about a bit of 1/4 square wood, profile the business end then cut a diagonal slot into which the wet and dry will fit or simply hold the paper in place with an elastic band?

Maybe he's looking for a fibreglass pencil
like what RS sell
extremely effective and not really coarse

Fibre glass pencils aren't "coarse" and are highly useful.
Another one of my favourites is a Garryflex block. Cut slices and glue them to wooden sticks for working inside small spaces.
Agreed
Also agreed (though I didn't know the 'Garryflex' name, thanks)
