FAQs

What are the included grits in the pack?

The pack contains one sheet of coarse grit, two sheets of medium grit, and one sheet of fine grit sandpaper.

Can I use this sandpaper with water?

Yes, this is 'Wet And Dry' sandpaper, designed to be used effectively with water to reduce clogging and provide a smoother finish.

What is the size of each sandpaper sheet?

Each sheet measures 275 x 225mm.

What materials is this sandpaper suitable for?

It is suitable for use on metal, paint, varnish, filler, and wood.

How does the silicon carbide abrasive perform?

Silicon carbide is a very hard and sharp abrasive that cuts quickly and provides a smooth finish, making it ideal for achieving finer results.

Is the sandpaper flexible?

Yes, it features a flexible B weight backing that allows it to conform to curved surfaces without easily tearing.

How should I store the sandpaper?

Store the sandpaper flat in a dry location to maintain its condition and effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Sandpaper clogs quickly

Use the sandpaper wet. Rinse the abrasive surface frequently under running water during use to clear away dust and debris.

Uneven sanding marks

Ensure consistent pressure is applied. If working on contours, confirm the sandpaper is conforming properly to the surface. Try using a finer grit for the finishing passes.

Backing tears during use

Apply moderate pressure, especially on edges and corners. Ensure the sandpaper is not being forced into sharp angles. If the backing feels too stressed, consider switching to a slightly coarser grit or a different backing type if available for the task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sandpaper is ready to use straight from the pack. It can be cut to size if needed to fit sanding blocks or specific hand-sanding requirements.

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide array of surfaces including metal, painted surfaces, varnish, filler, and various types of wood. It can be used for hand sanding or attached to orbital sanders if cut to the appropriate size and shape, though its primary design is for hand use.

Care: When using wet, rinse the sandpaper under running water after use to remove debris and prevent clogging. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat. Store flat in a dry environment to maintain its abrasive properties and flexibility.
