Non woven sanding pads

[TSB240]

I have been varnishing all of our interior woodwork and have just tried out these for the first time...

I must say I was always used to use either sandpaper or wet and dry..

Amazing no clogging much less dust and really fast to provide a key for the next coat of varnish.

Much impressed.

They also come in useful as when you wash them out you can do the pans with them as they are just big like big pan scourers....

or plastc wire wool.

Give them a try

Might seem expensive but I reckon a pack of ten will last me a couple of years and they wont go soggy in a damp garage or locker.


Perhaps you think I should get out more often!

Yes, they are good stuff. The coarser, thicker pads are great for scrubbing/rubbing down the antifoul for the same non-clog reason.

The purple ones we used to call scotchbrite and use for cleaning rifles. For some reason the green version just didn't work for that purpose.

Yes, they're good for many jobs.
However, the best synthetic answer is Micro-Mesh. Absolutely brilliant alternative to wet and dry: non-clog, long-lasting. Used by the pros out here on re-gelcoating jobs.

See, for instance: http://www.axminster.co.uk/micro-mesh-soft-touch-pad-abrasives-prod804806/
