FAQs

What is the best way to cut the sandpaper?

Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to cut the sandpaper to the required size. Measure accurately before cutting to minimize waste.

Can I use this sandpaper on metal?

Yes, this sandpaper is suitable for use on metal to remove minor imperfections and prepare the surface for priming or painting.

How long will the sandpaper last?

The lifespan of the sandpaper depends on the material, pressure, and the sanding technique used. However, the resin-over-resin bonding provides increased durability compared to standard sandpaper.

Is this sandpaper suitable for removing paint?

No, the 120 grit is not designed for removing paint or varnish. For removing paint, use a coarser grit sandpaper.

Can I use this sandpaper with a power sander?

Yes, this sandpaper is suitable for use with both hand and machine/electric sanders.

How should I store the sandpaper?

Store the sandpaper in a dry place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures, to maintain its quality.

Troubleshooting

Sanding paper tears or rips during use.

Ensure the backing paper is fully supported by your sanding tool or hand. Reduce pressure and avoid excessive force, especially on curved or irregular surfaces.

Sanding paper clogs quickly.

Use a brush or compressed air to remove sanding dust frequently. Consider using a coarser grit for initial sanding if the material is very rough.

The finish isn't smooth after sanding.

Check for scratches from a previous, coarser grit sandpaper. Ensure you are sanding evenly, following the grain of the material where applicable.
