Achieve a fine finish with Tamiya 87163 polishing sponge sheet

The Tamiya 87163 Polishing Sponge Sheet 320 is aimed at modellers who need uniform surfaces before painting or detailing. It works on injected plastic and can also be used to refine timber and small metal parts.

Excellent for contoured surfaces

The sponge backing helps the abrasive conform to curved and recessed sections, making it easier to produce even results on domed panels and sculpted parts.

Easy to shape for precision sanding

Slice the Tamiya 87163 into bespoke pieces to suit narrow seams, panel lines or tight corners. Tailored patches give more control when working on fine exterior or interior detailing.

Wet sanding keeps dust down

Using this sheet wet reduces dust generation and gives a smoother final surface. Wet sanding is recommended when tackling fragile or intricately moulded components to avoid overheating and clogging.

The 320 grit is best for medium smoothing and finishing tasks. For heavier material removal start coarser, then finish with this sheet for a cleaner surface.
Take great care with clear plastics. Test on scrap, use very light pressure and consider using a finer grit designed for clear parts after initial smoothing.
Keep them flat in a dry box or drawer to avoid warping. Avoid exposure to solvents and direct heat that could weaken the backing.
If used carefully with light strokes and small custom-cut pieces, it should not obscure fine detail. Always work slowly and inspect frequently.
Rinse thoroughly after wet use to clear debris. If the abrasive becomes clogged or worn, replace it to keep sanding consistent.
