FAQs
What does #400 grit mean?
A #400 grit sandpaper has 400 tiny abrasive particles per square inch. It's considered a medium-coarse grit, suitable for initial shaping, removing imperfections, and preparing surfaces for finer sanding.
Can I use these on metal models?
Yes, the abrasive quality is suitable for preparing metal model parts, though specialized metal files or coarser grits might be needed for heavy shaping.
How many times can I reuse a sheet?
Reusability depends on the material being sanded and the pressure applied. Typically, a sheet can be reused several times for light to moderate sanding tasks before the adhesive or abrasive wears out.
What is the best way to store unused sheets?
Store unused sheets with the protective backing paper firmly attached to the adhesive side. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the adhesive's tackiness.
Are these suitable for wet sanding?
These sandpapers are designed for dry sanding. Using them with water or other liquids may damage the adhesive and reduce their effectiveness.
Do I need to trim these sheets?
No, the DSPIAE DSP-400 sheets are pre-cut to fit specific DSPIAE sanding tools, so no trimming should be required when used with compatible tools.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper not sticking well
Ensure the surface of your sanding tool is clean and free of dust. If the adhesive feels weak, it might be time to use a new sheet.
Sandpaper doesn't fit the tool
Verify you are using a DSPIAE sanding tool designed for pre-cut sheets. If using a non-DSPIAE tool, slight trimming might be necessary, or consider a different product.
Abrasive is wearing down quickly
This is normal for aggressive sanding. For extended life, avoid applying excessive pressure and ensure you are not sanding hardened materials beyond the grit's capability.
Adhesive residue left on the tool
Use a specialized adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol on a cloth to gently clean the residue from the sanding tool surface. Ensure the tool is dry before applying new sandpaper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Peel the protective backing from the adhesive side of the sandpaper sheet.
- Carefully align the sandpaper sheet with the surface of your compatible DSPIAE sanding tool.
- Press firmly to ensure the adhesive bonds securely.
Compatibility:
- These sheets are precision-cut to fit DSPIAE brand sanding sliders and blocks. While they *can* be adapted for use on other tools, their optimal fit and performance are guaranteed with DSPIAE products.
Care:
- After use, gently remove the sandpaper from the tool. If the adhesive is still tacky, you can reuse it. Store it with the backing paper reattached to protect the adhesive surface.
- To clean abrasive surfaces, gently brush off dust and debris with a soft brush. Avoid using water or solvents, as this can damage the abrasive or adhesive.
