SS-C01-600 Self Adhesive Sponge Sanding Disc 5mm #600 (96pcs)

DSPIAE SS-C01 sanding discs, 600 grit, 5 mm in diameter

Ninety-six foam discs with a self-adhesive back, five millimeters in diameter. The 600 grit has a single task: to remove the scratches left by the coarse 400 grit without wiping away the shape you leveled with the coarse abrasive. Without this step the coarse scratches run through the whole procedure and show up under the paint, when they are hardest to put right.

When to reach for it

Immediately after the coarse leveling of a joint, filler or a sprue nub. Go over the face for as long as it takes for all traces of the previous grit to disappear under a side light. Only then does it make sense to move to the finer step.

How to work with them

• Stick the disc onto the mandrel exactly in the center, otherwise it will run out of true.
• Keep the speed low and do not press; pressure will tear a small disc off.
• In a tight place work in short touches and keep checking how much you have taken off.
• Rinse a clogged disc with clean water and let it dry.
• Clean the part between grits, as the remaining coarse grain would scratch the finer step.

Who they are for

The refill is for users of the discs in this range. Of the four, the 600 grit is used up fastest, because it removes the most material and clogs sooner than the finer grits.

It pays to buy more of this grit than of the others and keep it fitted on a mandrel of its own, because it is with this one that resticking the discs recurs most often. Do not breathe in the sanding dust from plastic and resin; work with extraction or at least with a respirator.
