Product Information
Full details
The Magnusson Sanding Roll (80 Grit) is an essential abrasive for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals who need to tackle aggressive material removal on plaster and filler surfaces. Its primary benefit lies in its high-performance cutting ability combined with specialized anti-clogging technology, which helps users achieve a professional finish quickly and efficiently. Potential users should note that the 80-grit abrasive is relatively coarse, meaning it is designed for initial surface preparation rather than final polishing or delicate finishing tasks.

FAQs
Can I use this on wood?
While it can be used on wood, 80-grit is very coarse and will leave deep scratches. It is best suited for initial paint removal or rough shaping.
Is this roll self-adhesive?
No, this is a standard abrasive roll and requires a sanding block or hand-pressure to hold it in place.
What is the width of the roll?
The roll is 115mm wide, which is standard for most manual sanding blocks.
How do I store the unused portion?
Keep the roll in its original packaging or a dry container away from humidity to ensure the backing remains flexible.
Does this work with power sanders?
This roll is designed primarily for hand-sanding applications.
Troubleshooting
The sanding sheet is clogging quickly with dust.
Reduce the amount of downward pressure and ensure you are cleaning the sheet periodically by tapping off excess plaster dust.
The paper is tearing during use on sharp corners.
Ensure the sheet is tightly secured to your sanding block. Avoid dragging the edge of the abrasive directly against sharp metal corner beads.
The finish looks too scratched.
The 80-grit is a coarse abrasive. Switch to a finer grit (120 or higher) for secondary passes to achieve a smoother surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces heat build-up during extended sanding sessions
- Highly flexible for use on irregular or curved surfaces
- Anti-clogging properties increase the lifespan of the abrasive
- Generous 5-meter length offers excellent value for large projects
Cons
- Not suitable for fine finishing or polishing tasks
- Coarse 80-grit finish leaves visible scratches on raw timber
- Requires manual cutting to fit specific sanding tools
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the sanding roll, measure the required length against your sanding block and use a pair of utility shears or a straight edge to cut the sheet cleanly. This product is specifically optimized for plaster and filler materials, though it is physically compatible with most hand-sanding tools of the 115mm width format. To care for the roll, store it in a dry environment to prevent the backing from losing its integrity. If the abrasive becomes dusty during use, gently tapping the back of the sheet against a solid surface will dislodge trapped particles and restore cutting efficiency.
