Whether stripping old paint or smoothing a minor wall repair, SandBlaster high performance abrasives are designed to make the job of sanding LESS WORK while providing high quality results.
They can be used on a wide range of surfaces including paint, wood, metal, plastic and fibreglass, and also have a special coating to resist clogging. SandBlaster abrasives are available in a number of forms - from sheets to the new range of flexible abrasives and accessories - and each form is designed to take you through the stages of a sanding project.
Choosing the right abrasive
It's easy to make the right choice with SandBlaster abrasives as they are colour-coded to highlight each stage of sanding.
Green for Paint Stripping - coarse abrasives recommended for stripping paint and removing varnish & coatings.
Maroon for Bare Surfaces - medium abrasives recommended for surface smoothing, shaping, removing defects and preparing bare surfaces before the first coat of paint or varnish.
Gold for Between Coats - fine abrasives recommended for sanding between coats of paint or varnish and for finishing. If a wood surface is to remain untreated or unpainted, fine sandpaper should be used to give a perfectly smooth finish.
Choosing the right grit
All SandBlaster abrasives packaging is marked with a grit dot which clearly indicates the abrasive grade:
36 to 80 for Paint Stripping
100 to 150 for Bare Surfaces
180 to 320 for Between Coats.

Handy tip...
A sequence of sanding grits is the key to a beautiful finish – from paint stripping (coarse) to bare surfaces (medium) and between coats (fine).
