Troubleshooting
Sandpaper slips during use
Ensure the clamp fastening system is fully engaged on both sides and that the sandpaper is pulled taut before clamping. Check that the sandpaper is not worn or too thin.
Uneven sanding marks
Verify that the sandpaper is centered and securely fastened. Apply consistent pressure across the entire surface of the sanding block. Ensure the edges of the block are clean and free of debris.
Block feels uncomfortable during extended use
Ensure you are holding the block with a relaxed grip. Take short breaks during prolonged sanding sessions to prevent hand fatigue. Consider using gloves.
