The DSPIAE PT-SP06 sits between shaping and finishing, using 600-grit paper to reduce scratches left by a 400 pass before priming. Its red acrylic pieces are reusable supports; abrasion comes from the self-adhesive strip fixed to the face, not from the pad itself. Replacing worn paper retains the same rigid backing and visible grit identity.
Three widths—5, 10 and 25 mm—share the same 2.5 mm thickness.
The silkscreened 600 and red body show which abrasive is fitted at a glance.
The narrow backing enters panel-line spaces and recesses; the widest maintains more contact across open surfaces.
Solvent cement and thinner can damage the acrylic, so keep both away from the pads.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a needle file and a sanding stick?+
Needle files are steel, cut faster and hold their shape for tight spots and metal. Sanding sticks are foam or paper-backed abrasive, kinder to plastic and better for smoothing broad, flat surfaces without gouging.
Which grit should I start with on mould lines?+
For plastic, start around 400 grit to knock the line back, then refine with 600–800. Coarser than 400 leaves scratches you then have to chase out, so only go lower for resin flash or heavy work.
Should I file wet or dry?+
Wet sanding with a drop of water reduces dust and clogging and gives a finer finish, which matters on resin where the dust is best not inhaled. Dry filing is fine for quick metal work and steel needle files.
How do I stop a file clogging with plastic or resin?+
Brush it out with a stiff brass brush along the cut direction. For sanding sticks, tap them clean often. Clogged abrasive stops cutting and starts burnishing, which just polishes the high spots rather than removing them.
