Product overview

Tamiya Finishing Abrasives Ultra Fine Set 87024 begins where the Fine set ends, moving through P1200, P1500 and P2000 for the final abrasive stages of model surface preparation. The three-grade progression allows increasingly fine work during modification and finishing rather than repeating one particle size throughout. The sheets are described as clog-resistant.

  • P1200 is the coarsest grade included in the Ultra Fine sequence.
  • P1500 provides the intermediate abrasive grade.
  • P2000 is the finest grade in the pack.
  • The Japanese product name identifies 87024 as the Finishing Set.
  • The abrasive coating resists clogging during wet or dry use.

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.
