Hand Pads: 'Scotchbrite' Type Nonwoven Abrasive

Applications:

For hand use, especially useful on shapes and curves where conventional abrasives are not flexible enough. Handpads are also much easier on the hands than coated paper and cloth abrasives. Recommended selection:

• Medium S: This is surprisingly effective on metal, including stainless steel, giving similar results to some 'Coarse A' pads.
• Fine A: Good for smoothing wood and rubbing down old paint prior to painting.
• Very Fine A: A softer handpad, ideal for curves and shapes. Good for sculpture in wood or metal.
• Ultra Fine S: For final rubbing down of fillers or between coatings on multi-layered surface treatments. Equivalent to grade 1000.

Specification:

• Made from non-woven fleece type material impregnated with selected resin and abrasive grain.
• Highly flexible. Can be folded, cut, stuffed in recesses etc.

• Size 224x158mm in all grades.
• 'S' Grades are grey in colour and use silicon carbide abrasive. 'A' grades are maroon and use aluminium oxide abrasive.
• Supplied in packs of 10 pads.
