FAQs
Can I use this on metal?
This product is designed for wood, plaster, and paint. It is not optimized for metal surfaces.
Is this grit suitable for removing heavy paint?
No, 180 grit is a finishing grit. You should use a coarser grit (like 60 or 80) for removing heavy paint.
Does this roll fit standard sanding blocks?
Yes, the 93mm width is a common size that fits most standard manual sanding blocks.
Can this be used with a mechanical sander?
This is primarily designed for hand-sanding; it does not have the necessary attachments or backing for most power sanders.
How should I store the roll?
Keep it in a dry area away from direct moisture to maintain the integrity of the abrasive coating.
Troubleshooting
Paper tearing during use
Ensure you are using a flat sanding block rather than applying uneven pressure with fingers.
Surface feels clogged with dust
Tap the paper firmly to clear debris or use a stiff-bristled brush to clean the abrasive surface.
Sanding result is uneven
Check if your sanding block is level; avoid applying excessive force, as light, even pressure works best.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, always cut the sandpaper to the length of your sanding block using a utility knife or sharp scissors to ensure a clean edge. When sanding wood, always work in the direction of the grain to avoid visible swirl marks. To maintain the effectiveness of the abrasive, occasionally tap the paper against a hard surface to dislodge dust particles that have collected in the grit. Store the remaining roll in a cool, dry place to prevent the abrasive bond from degrading due to humidity.
