FAQs
Can I use these sheets on a sander without velcro?
No, these sheets are specifically designed for sanders with a velcro-type fastening system.
Are these sheets suitable for wet sanding?
These are primarily designed for dry sanding applications; moisture may damage the paper backing and reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive.
How many sheets come in a pack?
This pack includes five high-quality sanding sheets.
What is the primary use for G120 grit?
G120 is considered a fine grit, ideal for surface smoothing, removing minor imperfections, and preparing wood for finishing.
Can I cut these sheets to fit a smaller sander?
While you can technically trim them, the velcro backing may not align correctly if cut, potentially causing instability during use.
Troubleshooting
Sanding sheet keeps detaching from the base
Ensure the sander base is clean and free of dust, and press the sheet firmly to ensure the velcro hooks are fully engaged.
Poor sanding results or glazing on the surface
The sheet may be clogged with wood dust. Use a cleaning block or soft brush to clear the abrasive grit.
Sheet tears during operation
Verify that the sheet is properly aligned with the base edges. If the sheet overlaps the edge, it will fray and tear quickly.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your sanding paper, ensure your sander plate is clean of dust and debris. Align the perforations of the sheet with the dust extraction holes on your sander's sanding plate, then press firmly to engage the velcro backing.
Compatibility: These sheets are designed for orbital sanders requiring a 228mm x 115mm plate. Always verify your sander's specifications before installation.
Care: To extend the life of your sanding sheets, avoid applying excessive pressure during sanding, as this can clog the abrasive surface. Use a soft brush or compressed air to periodically remove sanding dust from the sheet surface during use. Store in a dry environment to prevent the backing adhesive from losing integrity.
