Aluminium Oxide Assorted Hand Sanding Sheets - Pack Of 5

Assorted grit means the pack contains sandpaper sheets with different levels of coarseness. Typically, lower numbers (e.g., 80) are coarse for rapid material removal, while higher numbers (e.g., 220) are fine for smoothing and finishing.

These sheets are designed for dry sanding. Using them on wet surfaces may reduce their effectiveness and lifespan.

Start with a coarser grit to remove material or smooth rough surfaces. Progress to finer grits to achieve a smoother finish. For most finishing tasks, grits between 120 and 220 are common.

Aluminium oxide is a hard, durable abrasive mineral commonly used in sandpaper. It's known for its longevity and effectiveness on a wide range of materials.

Store the sheets in a cool, dry place away from moisture and extreme temperatures to preserve the adhesive and abrasive qualities.

While finer grits are included for smoothing, for extremely delicate or high-gloss finishes, specialized fine-grit papers or tools might be more suitable. However, these sheets can achieve a good finish for most general purposes.

Ensure you are using a grit appropriate for the material and the task. For faster removal, switch to a coarser grit. Ensure you are applying adequate, even pressure.

Check if the grit is too coarse for the desired finish. Ensure you are using a sanding block or even pressure when hand sanding. If using multiple grits, ensure you have adequately smoothed with the previous, coarser grit before moving to a finer one.

For intensive sanding, consider using power sanding tools. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure, which can wear down the abrasive faster. Try folding the sheet to use different sections.
