Product Description
Why you'll want it
- Strips old paint and shapes putty. The record lists removing old paint, shaping putty and preparing primer as jobs for these discs. The paper backing bends with the surface, so it works on curved or uneven spots too.
- Less clogging and dust. A special coating helps pull dust away from the disc. That means less clogging while you work, and the disc holds up longer.
- A steady, even scratch pattern. The grit is spread evenly across the disc. That gives you a smooth, even sanding pattern and helps the finish look better.
- Good timing for fall refinish work. Fall is a good time to plan paint, putty and gelcoat repairs over the winter, so the surface is ready when spring comes.
What it is
These are RUPES Multipurpose Paper Abrasive Discs, 150 mm (6 inch) with 15 holes. The grit is P400, and each box holds 100 discs. The paper backing is reinforced with latex and chemical fibers, which the record says gives it flexibility and tear resistance.
How to use it
- Start with the least aggressive grit that does the job.
- Step through finer grits in order. Skipping a stage leaves scratches the next step cannot remove.
What else the job needs
Good to have on hand: other grits in this same line, such as P320, P220, P180, P120, P80 and P40, each sold on its own page. No additional items are specified in the product description.
