Smooth final finishes with the Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000

The Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000 provides a 3000 grit abrasive surface suited to the final smoothing stages of model builds. It helps remove fine imperfections on plastic components and prepares surfaces for polish or clear coat.

Adaptable sponge backing

With a 5mm sponge backing the sheet offers controlled flexibility, letting you work around domes, curves and recesses without losing contact. Cut it down with a sharp modeler's knife to make bespoke sanding tools for detailed tasks.

Suitable for several materials

Primarily intended for plastic models, the Tamiya 87171 also performs on wood and softer metalwork. Employing it wet can help limit dust and lower friction during close finishing passes.

Sheet dimensions and labelling

The item is supplied as a single 114x140mm sheet per pack. The reverse side is printed with the product name and the 3000 grit indicator so you can identify the correct sheet at a glance.

It can smooth minor paint imperfections, but for heavier blemishes consider working up from coarser grits before finishing with the 3000 grit sheet.
Use small trimmed pieces and light, controlled strokes. Frequently check the surface and stop as soon as the defect is removed to avoid losing crisp edges.
No. Keep the sheet flat to prevent creasing and to maintain even abrasive contact when next used.
Wear a dust mask when dry sanding and use eye protection. Wet sanding reduces airborne dust, but safety gear is still recommended for extended sessions.
