Full details
The Magnusson 40 Grit Sanding Roll is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-performance abrasive for heavy-duty material removal on plaster, painted wood, and softwood.

FAQs
Can I use this for final sanding?
No, 40 grit is very coarse and intended for heavy material removal. You should follow up with medium and fine-grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish.
Is this suitable for metal sanding?
This product is specifically optimized for plaster, painted wood, and softwood; it may not be efficient for hard metal surfaces.
How long is the roll?
The roll is 5 meters in length and 115mm wide.
Does it have an adhesive backing?
No, this is a standard abrasive roll designed to be held by hand, used on a block, or clamped into a machine.
What should I do if the paper keeps slipping off the block?
Use a sanding block with integrated clips or utilize high-strength masking tape to secure the ends of the abrasive paper.
Troubleshooting
Paper tearing during use
Ensure the sanding block surface is flat and free of sharp edges. Avoid applying excessive force; let the abrasive grit do the work.
Rapid clogging despite open-coat design
Reduce the amount of pressure applied and ensure the workpiece is completely dry, especially when dealing with paint or fillers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the sanding roll, measure the required length based on your sanding block or electric sander's mounting mechanism and cut with heavy-duty scissors. This roll is compatible with most standard 115mm manual sanding blocks and many orbital sanders that accept roll-fed paper. For care and maintenance, store the roll in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the abrasive bond. If the paper becomes clogged despite the open-coat design, tap it against a hard surface to dislodge trapped particles or use a rubber sanding block cleaner.
