When it may not be suitable

This product may not be the ideal choice for extremely fine finishing or polishing tasks, as the 120 grit is relatively coarse and will leave visible scratch patterns on the surface. It is also not intended for use with power sanders that require specific adhesive backing or specialized attachment systems.

How to use

To use the Klingspor abrasive paper, cut the sheet to the desired size if necessary or wrap it around a sanding block for even pressure distribution. For wet sanding, soak the paper in water or apply a steady stream of water to the surface during the sanding process to keep the abrasive clean and reduce airborne dust. Sand the surface using light, consistent pressure in a circular or back-and-forth motion until the desired smoothness is achieved. Periodically wipe away the residue to inspect the progress of the work.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 120 grit is appropriate for the current state of your surface and the desired final finish.
• Verify that the 230x280mm sheet size fits your manual sanding tools or blocks.
• Consider purchasing a variety of grits if your project requires a multi-stage sanding process.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, always start with a coarser grit if the surface is heavily damaged and progress to finer grits to achieve a smooth finish. When performing wet sanding, ensure that the work area is protected from water runoff and that you wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
