View · Overview

Product overview

Item 87093 is a single-grade P240 finishing abrasive for shaping and preparing model components while maintaining the same cut throughout the pack. Each 93 × 227 mm sheet uses a plastic backing that permits wet sanding. The abrasive face is built for minimal clogging and a consistent particle size, keeping this product focused on repeated work at one defined grit rather than a sequence of progressively finer sheets.

  • The plastic backing is suitable for wet-sanding applications.
  • The abrasive surface is designed to minimise clogging.
  • Particle size remains consistent across the working surface.

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.
