Sanding Sponge Sheet VALLEJO 180 grit (2 pieces)

VALLEJO Sanding Sponge Sheet 180 grit (2 pieces) are flexible abrasive sheets with a foam backing designed for smoothing and refining surfaces on scale models, miniatures and small hobby projects. The 180-grit abrasive provides medium-fine cutting action suitable for removing minor imperfections, resin flash, mold lines and light paint defects while preserving detail. Sheets conform to curved surfaces and edges, allowing more controlled contact than rigid sandpaper and helping to avoid unintended flat spots.

Advantages

The foam-backed construction gives consistent pressure distribution and gentle resilience, making these 180-grit sheets effective on plastic, resin and metal without excessive gouging. The set contains two reusable sheets that can be used dry or with water for reduced dust and longer abrasive life. Their flexibility and size make them easy to manipulate around fine contours, seams and recessed details during surface preparation prior to priming or paint application.

Suitable for

• Sanding mold lines and flash on plastic and resin model parts
• Smoothing small metal fittings and detail components
• Preparing surfaces before primer and paint
• Refining curved and irregular surfaces on miniatures
• Wet sanding to reduce dust and obtain a finer finish

Key specifications

• Abrasive grit: 180 (medium-fine)
• Backing: foam sponge (flexible)
• Quantity: 2 sheets per pack
• Suitable usage: wet or dry sanding
• Compatible materials: plastic, resin, metal

How to use

Select the appropriate sheet and work with gentle, controlled strokes along or across the detail you wish to smooth. For best control on curves and edges, wrap the sheet around a small tool or your fingertip to follow contours. When removing mold lines or excess material, use light pressure and check progress frequently to avoid over-sanding. If using wet, dip the sheet in water and squeeze out excess; wet sanding reduces clogging and dust and often yields a finer surface for priming and painting.

Usage recommendations

Begin with the 180-grit sheet for initial refinement, then progress to finer grits if a smoother finish is required before priming. Rinse sheets during wet use to maintain abrasive performance, and store them flat and dry to preserve shape and usability.
