Model Finishing with Tamiya 87149 Sanding Sponge

The Tamiya 87149 Sanding Sponge Sheet in 1000 grit is tailored for fine finishing tasks. It uses aluminium oxide abrasive on a pliant sponge layer, effective for smoothing plastic prototypes and suitable for light work on wood and metal components.

Adaptable to Curves and Recesses

The sponge backing allows the abrasive to follow contours and access recessed details without excessive pressure. Cut the sheet with a hobby knife to create narrow strips or small blocks for precise sanding jobs.

Suited to Wet Sanding Techniques

Intended for wet sanding to reduce dust and create a finer surface texture ahead of painting. The range also offers 400, 600 and 1500 grit options so you can progress from rough to fine finishes.

Yes, 1000 grit is appropriate for light smoothing on primer coats. Use gentle, wet passes to avoid cutting through the primer layer.
1000 grit is a fine abrasive and will remove small surface blemishes and paint edges, but it is not intended for rapid paint stripping. For heavier removal use coarser grit sheets first.
Wrap the sheet around a soft block or use it freehand with light, even strokes. The sponge backing conforms to curves and helps avoid flat spots.
