PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge used for?
The 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponges are versatile and durable abrasive products designed to sand and prepare surfaces for painting or other finishes. They can be used on wood, metal, plastics, paint, and drywall.
-
Why is it called a "Softback" sponge?
The term "Softback" refers to the type of backing material used in these sponges. It's softer than other types of backings commonly found in traditional sandpaper sheets which makes it flexible enough to use on contoured surfaces such as curved parts.
-
How long does each sponge last?
The lifespan of each 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge will vary depending upon the level of abrasiveness required by your project and its condition after use but typically they are a more cost-effective choice compared with traditional paper-backed sandpaper since they're reusable without deteriorating quality over time as quickly as paper-based alternatives do – one piece could replace up to several sheets of regular-sized sandpaper because you're capable of using both sides which adds extra value when factoring quantity per pack (20) and case (6 packs).
The 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge 02602 is an excellent choice for sanding tight or contoured areas, such as headlight openings, door handles, and door jambs. The soft, flexible foam backing conforms to virtually any profile, making this sanding sponge more flexible than conventional paper-backed sandpaper.
These highly-versatile abrasive sponges have a waterproof bonding system that works for both wet and dry sanding. They’re perfect for sanding a variety of materials, including metal, fiberglass, paint, primer, plastic, and gel coats.
Made with long-lasting aluminum oxide, the 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge 02602 is perfect for any hand-sanding applications where you need more precision and detail than you could achieve with machine-sanding methods.
