This Norton sanding sheet is designed for users needing a flexible abrasive for curved, contoured, or rough surfaces, providing a fine finish ideal for metal and wood. While its strength and flexibility are key benefits, users should be aware that the 120 grit is best suited for intermediate finishing stages rather than heavy material removal. Key features include high strength, flexibility, and suitability for a variety of materials and shapes.

The cloth backing provides high strength and exceptional flexibility, allowing the sheet to conform to curved, contoured, and irregular surfaces without tearing easily.
No, the 120 grit is a fine abrasive intended for intermediate smoothing and finishing. For heavy material removal like paint or significant rust, coarser grits (e.g., 60-80 grit) would be more appropriate.
While primarily designed for metal and wood, it can be used on some plastics for light scuffing or smoothing, but testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended.
Cloth-backed sandpaper is generally more durable and flexible than paper-backed sandpaper, making it better suited for applications requiring conformity to shapes and longevity.
The 120 grit is considered fine and suitable for preparing surfaces for paint or varnish. For a smoother finish, you would typically follow up with grits of 180, 220, or higher.
Each pack contains 5 sanding sheets.
Ensure you are removing dust frequently by brushing or tapping the sheet. If working with soft woods or resins, consider using a coarser grit or a different type of abrasive.
Reduce excessive pressure, especially on sharp edges. Ensure the surface being sanded is free of sharp burrs or debris that could snag the backing.
Make sure the sheet is conforming fully to the curve. Try folding the sheet slightly to ensure consistent pressure distribution across the entire contact area.
Setup: No specific setup is required. The sanding sheets are ready for immediate use. Simply hold the sheet by hand or fold it to create a sanding block for harder edges.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of common materials including various types of wood (hardwood, softwood, plywood) and metals (steel, aluminum, brass, copper). It is also effective on painted surfaces for scuff-sanding or preparation.
Care: To maintain performance, periodically brush off dust from the abrasive surface. Avoid excessive pressure, which can clog the grit or damage the cloth backing. Store sheets in a dry place away from moisture and extreme temperatures to preserve their flexibility and adhesive properties.
