How do I clean the sponges?

What surfaces can I use these on?

These sponges are suitable for wood, metal, drywall, and other surfaces. Always test in an inconspicuous area.

How long do the sponges last?

The lifespan depends on usage and surface. Use proper technique to extend the life of the sponge.

Can I use these for automotive work?

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear a dust mask to avoid inhaling particles. Consider wearing eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area.

Troubleshooting

Sanding is uneven.

Ensure even pressure is applied and use a sanding block for larger areas. Check for debris on the sponge and replace if necessary.

Sponge wears out quickly.

Avoid excessive pressure and use the appropriate grit for the surface. Consider using a sanding block or alternative tools for very rough surfaces.

Sanding leaves scratches.

Use a finer grit sponge or ensure the surface is clean before sanding. Change the sponge if it has debris.

Tap the sponge frequently to remove debris. Use the appropriate grit for the surface.
