Dual-Grit Firm Sanding Sponge Stick - 1 piece 400/600 and 1 piece 800/1000

Madworks Dual-Grit Firm Sanding Sponge Stick (400/600 and 800/1000)

This is a modeling sanding tool, not a kit. The package from the Taiwanese maker Madworks contains two firm sanding sticks, each carrying two different grits: one piece combines 400 and 600, the other 800 and 1000. Compared with soft sponges these sticks have a stiffer core and a more durable abrasive layer, so they sand faster and hold a flat plane better. They suit plastic, resin, PVC and ABS.

Use

• Efficient sanding of flat areas and edges, where a sharp shape is wanted.
• A quick change between two grits on a single stick.
• Sanding down gate remnants, parting lines and filled areas.
• Step-by-step smoothing from a coarser to an ever finer surface.

Who it is for

• Modelers who prefer a stiffer tool with a more precise bite.
• Builders of plastic and resin kits and figures.
• Anyone who wants four grits in two sticks.

A lower grit number sands more coarsely, a higher one more finely. A stiffer core holds a flat plane better than a soft sponge. Respiratory protection is recommended when sanding.
