FAQs
What grit is the Dekton Sanding Block?

What materials can I use this sanding block on?

Is the sanding block flexible?
Yes, the block is designed to be flexible, allowing it to conform to surface shapes for even sanding.
How do I clean the sanding block?

Can this be used for fine finishing?
The 120 grit is best for material removal and surface preparation. For very smooth, fine finishes, you would typically need finer grit sandpaper.

How long will the sanding block last?
Durability depends on the intensity and frequency of use. It's made from high-quality materials to withstand rigorous tasks, but the abrasive will eventually wear down.
Troubleshooting
Sanding is not effective
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Check if the grit is worn down; if so, replace the sanding block.
Block feels stiff and does not conform
The material may require more pressure to conform. If the block is old or has been stored in extreme temperatures, its flexibility might be reduced; consider replacement.
Dust clogs the abrasive quickly
Tap the block frequently to dislodge dust. For extensive dust, a soft brush can help clear the surface. Ensure proper ventilation when sanding.
