Frequently Asked Questions:

What specific grits are included in this coarse assortment pack?

This package focuses on the lower to medium grit spectrum ideal for rough shaping, mold line removal, and severe support nub cleanup. It contains 20 total pads divided into four color-coded steps, providing 5 pads of each level to take your surfaces from rough material removal to a smooth, paint-ready matte finish.

Can these foam sanding pads be used wet?

Yes. Wet sanding is highly recommended when working with resin miniatures or 3D prints to prevent fine dust from entering your workspace. The EVA foam core and adhesive backing are designed to resist water breakdown, allowing you to rinse away clogged plastic particles and extend the lifespan of each pad.

How do I clean the pads when they get clogged with sanding dust?

Because the pads are flexible and waterproof, you can easily clean them by tapping them against a hard surface to dislodge dry dust, brushing them with an old toothbrush, or rinsing them under a tap with warm water to wash away trapped material.

Can I use these on white metal or pewter miniatures?

Yes. While they are exceptional for resin and plastic, the coarse grits in this assortment are also highly effective at cleaning up mold lines, flash, and rough casting gates on metal miniatures before assembly.
