Product overview
Beginning with P180, Tamiya Finishing Abrasives Mid 87009 continues through P240 to P320 for a three-grade progression during model modification and finishing. The selection concentrates on the earlier stages of surface preparation rather than fine polishing grades. Its sheets are designed to resist clogging as work moves from the lowest included grit number to the highest.
- The pack progresses through P180, P240 and P320.
- The Japanese product designation identifies 87009 as the Medium Set.
- Each grade suits shaping, seam cleanup and putty preparation.
- The abrasive surfaces are formulated to resist clogging.
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.
