Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Hyde 45395 Rubber Sanding Block, tear a standard 1/4 sheet of sandpaper. Wrap the sandpaper around the block, ensuring the grit side is exposed. For flat surfaces, wrap the sandpaper around the bottom face. For curved surfaces, use the sides or top. Secure the sandpaper using the integrated pins on the block, pressing them firmly into the sandpaper's edge.
Compatibility: This sanding block is compatible with all standard grits and types of sandpaper (e.g., aluminum oxide, silicon carbide) available in 1/4 sheet size. It works effectively with all common sanding materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and painted surfaces.
Care: After use, especially in wet sanding applications, rinse the block thoroughly with water to remove any debris or residue. Allow the block to air dry completely before storing. Periodically inspect the securing pins to ensure they are functioning correctly. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
