Abranet Sanding Pack and/or Hand Pad

Sanding Pack - Mirka Abranet® is a revolutionary new sanding material for dust-free sanding.

This unique patented sanding material contains thousands of small holes, making it possible to effectively vacuum away dust and other particles without clogging the disc surface. The result is seen as a very uniform sanding pattern and a perfectly smooth surface. Since the amount of airborne dust has been minimized, the work environment is remarkably improved.

Hand Pad - Grip Faced Dome Hand Pad, Qty. 1 This is hand pad allows the user to get in to those spots that a mechanical sander can't reach, or where a mechanical sander would be too aggressive. Accepts Hook and Loop abrasives.  You also get the extra cushioning of the Interface Pad. Interface pads increase contourability and help to distribute pressure across the face of the disc.  This particular interface pad is designed specifically for use with Abranet® Discs, and features hooks that will not protrude through the net mesh material.

Wet sanding is recommended to prolong the life of sandpaper and to avoid inhaling the dust. If you prefer to dry sand, be sure to wear a protective mask. Water helps to keep the sandpaper wet, preventing dust from sticking to the surface and clogging the sandpaper. This is crucial for achieving a smooth finish and avoiding scratches. When wet sanding, you can also add a small amount of dishwashing liquid to the water to further reduce dust and improve the sanding process.

Some people say that soaking your sandpaper for five minutes before beginning to sand will prolong the life of the paper. You may sand under running (or trickling) water or in a shallow bowl of water. It's a good idea to add a drop or two of liquid soap to the sanding water.  The water cuts down on polymer dust and helps unclog the sandpaper. The dish soap slows down clogging the paper with grit. Once the sandpaper gets clogged, dip it in the water and use a toothbrush to remove the grit. You’ll know when it’s time to replace the sandpaper with new, as it will lose its effectiveness.

It is not necessary that you submerge the clay and paper the entire time, but you'll want to dip them down into the water frequently to prevent the paper from becoming clogged with residue. Periodically change your sanding water.

"I strongly and highly recommend this sanding material.  It easily will last 5-10 times longer than regular sandpaper." - Ginger Davis Allman
