Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull FAISBMF Sanding Block is designed for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals who require a versatile, dual-grit abrasive for surface preparation on wood and metal. Its primary benefit lies in its flexible foam core, which allows for effortless sanding of intricate mouldings and contoured surfaces that flat sanders cannot reach. A notable caveat is that as a manual tool, it is better suited for smaller projects or detail work rather than large-scale floor or furniture stripping where power tools would be more efficient.

FAQs
Can I use this for sanding drywall?
While it can be used for small drywall patches, the grit is generally finer than traditional drywall sponges, so it may take longer.
Does it work for both wet and dry applications?
Yes, this sanding block is fully compatible with both dry and wet sanding processes.
Can I wash the sanding block?
Yes, you can rinse it with water, but ensure it is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew in the foam.
Which grit is which?
The medium grit is typically used for initial smoothing, while the fine grit is used for the final finish before painting or staining.
How long will this block last?
Durability depends on the material being sanded and the pressure applied, but the aluminium oxide coating is designed for a long service life.
Troubleshooting
The sanding block is clogging quickly
Clean the surface by tapping it firmly against your workbench to vibrate the dust out of the grit.
Abrasive grit is coming off the block
Reduce the amount of pressure applied. Aluminium oxide is designed to cut efficiently with light, consistent pressure.
Block is losing its shape
Ensure you are using the block for its intended purpose of surface finishing and not for aggressive grinding of sharp metal edges.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible foam adapts to complex contours and mouldings
- Dual-grit surface saves time by minimizing tool swaps
- Durable aluminium oxide abrasive stands up to repeated use
- Compact size fits comfortably in the hand for better control
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty material removal on large flat surfaces
- Foam block can wear down faster than hard rubber blocks if used with excessive pressure
- Requires manual effort which may be tiring over long periods
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Faithfull Sanding Block; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To extend the life of the tool, avoid pressing too hard, which can prematurely damage the foam structure or rip the abrasive coating.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: If the block becomes clogged with wood dust or metal particles, tap it against a hard surface to dislodge debris or use a dedicated abrasive cleaning stick.
- Wet Sanding: If using for wet sanding, rinse the block thoroughly under water after use and allow it to air-dry completely before storing in a dry environment to prevent the foam from degrading.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the adhesive bonding the grit to the foam.
