Sanding Sheets

Sanding Sheets

Sanding Sheets are sheets of sandpaper that can be used to sand by hand. Sheets of sandpaper adapt to your hand, allowing you to sand any surface. Even the hard-to-reach areas! Therefore, hand sanding sheets are also used when sanding curves, bulges, hollows and flat areas by hand. A hand sheet of sandpaper can, as the name suggests, be used directly in the hand, or in practice is also folded around a sanding block or sanding cork.

Waterproof sanding sheets

Waterproof sanding sheets are used when wet sanding automotive paints, clear coats and other types of paint. Waterproof sandpaper get their name from their use i.c.w. water or degreaser. Hand sanding sheets are made of special latex on which the sanding grains are sprinkled. This makes these hand sanding sheets suitable for use i.c.m. water, without the paper tearing or breaking. For this reason, waterproof sandpaper is well known to professional car-details and car polishers for waxing car paintwork.

Sandpaper for sanding block or sanding cork

A hand sanding sheet does not have a velcro backing. Because it does not have velcro, this type of sandpaper can only be used on a sander with clamps. However, hand sanding sheets are commonly used on sanding blocks and/or sanding corks. By folding the sandpaper sheet around the sanding cork, you can apply more force while sanding and sand more comfortably.

Advantages of hand sanding

Sanding by hand with a sheet of sandpaper is useful when you want to keep control over the sanding result while sanding. Because the sheet of sandpaper lies in your hand, you have a better feeling during sanding. You decide how hard or how soft you press! In addition, curves and hard-to-reach areas can also be sanded easily because the hand sanding sheet adapts to the shape of the surface.

Disadvantages of hand sanding

Unfortunately, hand sanding also has a disadvantage. By sanding with a sheet of sandpaper, you have an uneven sanding pattern. Your fingers simply press harder during sanding than the rest. As a result, while sanding by hand, you will see traces of your fingers in the surface. In addition, it works less comfortably than if you use a sanding block, sanding cork or sander.
