FAQs

Can I use these sheets with an electric orbital sander?

Yes, you can cut these sheets to size to fit your power sander, provided you secure them properly according to the tool manufacturer's instructions.

What is the primary difference between P80 and P180 grits?

P80 is a coarse grit used for heavy material removal, while P180 is a fine grit used for smoothing surfaces and preparing them for finishing coats.

Are these sheets waterproof?

These are designed for general surface preparation; they are not rated for wet sanding.

Can these be used on metal surfaces?

While optimized for wood, plaster, and paint, they can be used for light de-burring on soft metals, though they will wear out faster than dedicated metal-abrasive products.

How should I store these sheets?

Keep them flat in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent the paper backing from warping or losing its structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Sheet is losing its abrasive quality too quickly

Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material; if the sheet is clogging, tap off the excess dust or switch to a coarser grit initially.

Backing paper tearing during use

Check that the sheet is securely fastened to the sanding block and avoid applying excessive pressure; allow the abrasive to do the work.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile grit range handles multiple project stages
  • Anti-clog coating extends the life of each sheet
  • Durable backing paper reduces accidental tearing
  • Suitable for both manual hand-sanding and power tool use

Cons

  • Five sheets may be insufficient for large surface areas
  • Requires manual cutting or folding for specific power tool sizes
  • Mixed pack may not provide enough of one specific grit for specific tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use, simply cut the 230 x 280mm sheets to fit your specific sanding block or power sander. For the best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry before beginning. When hand-sanding, apply even pressure and move in the direction of the grain to prevent uneven wear. After use, gently tap the sheet to remove trapped dust particles or use a soft brush to maintain the abrasive surface. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the backing paper from absorbing moisture, which can weaken the structure and affect performance.
