Product Information
Full details
The Modelcraft Dual-Grit Flexi Sanders (PAB1200) are designed for hobbyists, scale modelers, and jewelry makers who require precise material removal and surface refinement in tight spaces. These versatile tools provide a professional finish by offering multiple grit levels in a single ergonomic pad, making them perfect for de-nibbing, blending, and polishing small components. A key caveat is that their compact 8cm x 3cm size is optimized for delicate, small-scale work and may not be suitable for sanding large surface areas efficiently.

FAQs
Are these sanders suitable for metal work?
Yes, they are effective on soft metals commonly used in jewelry making, such as copper, brass, and silver.
Can I use these with water for wet sanding?
Yes, the materials are washable and durable enough to withstand wet sanding applications.
How do I know which grit to start with?
Start with the 60/100 for heavy removal, use 240/400 for smoothing, and finish with 600/1000.
Can these be cut into smaller pieces?
While they can be trimmed with a hobby knife, the edges may fray, so it is recommended to use them in their original dimensions.
What is the thickness of the sanders?
Each sander is 6mm thick, providing enough structure to grip comfortably while remaining flexible.
Troubleshooting
Sander surface becomes clogged with dust
Rinse the sander under warm running water and gently agitate with a soft brush to dislodge particles.
Abrasive grit seems less effective
Ensure the sander is completely dry; abrasive materials often lose their "bite" when saturated with water or heavy dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sanders are ready for use immediately upon unboxing—no assembly or specialized preparation is required. They are compatible with plastic, resin, wood, and soft metals. To maintain the life of the sanders, rinse them under warm water after heavy use to remove sanding dust and debris, then allow them to air dry completely before the next session. Do not use harsh chemical solvents for cleaning, as these may degrade the bonding agent between the abrasive grit and the foam core.
