FAQs
Can I use these sheets with an electric sander?
These sheets are designed for manual sanding. While they may be cut to size for some tools, they do not have specific backing for power tool attachments.
Is 240 grit too coarse for my project?
240 grit is considered a fine grit, ideal for finishing or between coats. It is generally not coarse enough to strip paint or sand down bare, rough wood.
Can these be used wet?
These sheets are designed primarily for dry sanding. Using them wet may compromise the paper backing.
How many sheets come in the pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual sheets.
What are the dimensions of each sheet?
Each sheet measures 280mm x 230mm.
Will this sandpaper work on automotive body filler?
Yes, it is excellent for smoothing out body filler to ensure a perfectly level surface before painting.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper clogging quickly with dust
Stop sanding periodically to tap the dust out of the sheet, or use a soft-bristled brush to clear the surface.
Paper tearing during use
Ensure you are using a sanding block or firm backing; avoid folding the paper into sharp, tight creases that can lead to tears.
Finish looks scratched
You may be using the paper too forcefully or skipped an intermediate grit; ensure the surface is clean of larger debris before using the 240-grit sheets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your sandpaper, store the sheets inside the provided cardboard unit in a dry environment. Moisture can weaken the paper backing and cause the grit to shed prematurely.
Best Practices:
- Use a Backing Pad: For flat surfaces, wrap the sheet around a sanding block to ensure even pressure and prevent uneven spots.
- Clean Frequently: Tap the back of the sandpaper or use a vacuum to remove trapped dust particles during use to extend the lifespan of the abrasive.
- Safety First: Always wear a dust mask or respirator when sanding, especially when dealing with old paint or treated wood, as dust inhalation can be harmful.
