FAQs
What kind of sandpaper should I use with this block?
This block is designed to work best with DSPIAE die-cutting adhesive sandpaper, such as the MSP series (#180-#2500) and SP-S01/SP-S02 sets. You can also use other adhesive sandpaper cut to the appropriate size.
Can I use this for general sanding of flat surfaces?
While it has flat sanding surfaces, its primary design is for right-angle applications. For extensive flat surface sanding, a dedicated flat sanding block might be more efficient.
How do I clean the sanding block?
Wipe off dust with a dry cloth or use a soft brush. Avoid using liquids or solvents to maintain the integrity of the alloy and any attached sandpaper.
Is the red color purely aesthetic?
The red color is one of the classic color options available. The functionality of the block is the same regardless of color (red, black, or gray).
What is the benefit of the ultra-thin beveled edge?
The ultra-thin beveled edge allows for sanding right up to edges and into tight corners without creating unwanted rounded surfaces or damaging adjacent areas.
Can I use this on metal or plastic models?
Yes, this sanding block is suitable for use on various materials commonly found in model making, including plastic, resin, and putty.
Does it come with sandpaper?
No, the DSPIAE Aluminium Right Angle Sanding Paper Block is sold separately from sandpaper. You will need to purchase compatible adhesive sandpaper to use it.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper not adhering well
Ensure the block's surface is clean and dry. Use fresh, high-quality adhesive sandpaper, preferably from the recommended DSPIAE range. Press firmly to ensure full adhesion.
Sanding marks are inconsistent
Verify that the sandpaper grit is appropriate for the material and the desired finish. Ensure even pressure is applied during sanding. Check for any debris trapped between the sandpaper and the block.
Block feels uncomfortable during extended use
Take breaks during long sanding sessions. Ensure you are holding the block with a relaxed grip. Consider the ambient temperature, as metal can become cold or warm.
Beveled edge not reaching certain areas
Confirm you are using the correct sanding surface of the block for the specific angle. Ensure the sandpaper is applied correctly and not obscuring the edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This sanding block is ready to use out of the box. To attach sandpaper, cut DSPIAE die-cutting adhesive sandpaper or similar grit paper to size and apply it to the designated sanding surfaces of the block. Ensure the paper is adhered smoothly without wrinkles.
Compatibility: This block is optimized for use with DSPIAE's range of die-cutting adhesive sandpaper, including the MSP Die-Cutting Adhesive Sandpaper (#180-#2500) and SP-S01 Coarse Grits Adhesive Sandpaper Set (#180-#800), and SP-S02 Fine Grit. While other adhesive sandpapers may fit, using the recommended DSPIAE products ensures optimal adhesion and performance.
Care: After use, gently remove any dust or debris from the sanding surface. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush. Avoid using water or solvents, as they can affect the adhesive on the sandpaper and potentially damage the alloy block over time. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
