FAQs

What type of sandpaper works best with this block?

Standard sandpaper sheets of various grits can be used. The size will depend on how you wrap it around the block.

Can this block be used for metal or plastic?

This sanding block is primarily designed for use on wood and may not be suitable for metal or plastic surfaces.

How do I clean the sanding block?

Brush off dust with a stiff brush after use. Avoid washing with water as it can damage the cork.

Is this block suitable for large-scale sanding projects?

Due to its size and design, it is best suited for smaller, detailed areas rather than large, flat surfaces.

What are the benefits of the bevelled edges?

The bevelled edges allow for easier sanding in corners and along edges without damaging the surrounding material or creating unwanted curves.

How durable is the cork material?

Cork is a natural and durable material for sanding blocks, offering good performance for its intended use. However, with extensive, heavy-duty sanding, it may wear down over time.

Troubleshooting

Sandpaper does not stay attached.

Ensure the sandpaper is wrapped tightly around the block and secured firmly. Consider using sandpaper with adhesive backing or employing small clips.

Uneven sanding results.

Check that the sandpaper is evenly applied and that you are applying consistent pressure across the flat base of the block.

Block feels rough or is shedding.

This is normal wear and tear. Gently brush off loose particles. If the surface becomes too uneven, consider replacing the sandpaper or rotating the block.
