Sanding Sponge Sheet VALLEJO 280 (2) — abrasive sanding sponge insert

VALLEJO Sanding Sponge Sheet 280 (2) is an abrasive replacement sheet designed for use with sanding sponges and blocks. The 280 grit surface provides fine abrasion suitable for smoothing paint layers, removing minor imperfections and preparing surfaces on hobby models, plastic, resin and wood. Supplied as sheets to cut and mount on compatible sponge carriers, these inserts allow controlled, even sanding of small parts and contours during modelling and craft work.

Advantages

The fine 280 grit ensures a balance between material removal and surface finish, reducing the risk of over-sanding delicate details. Flexible backing enables sanding of curved and irregular surfaces while maintaining even pressure. Sheets are easy to replace and trim to size, extending the versatility of standard sanding sponges and blocks for different modelling tasks.

Suitable for

• Fine sanding and smoothing of scale models and miniatures
• Surface preparation before priming or repainting
• Removing light paint runs, seam lines and resin casting marks
• Sanding small wooden parts and plastic components in crafts

Key specifications

• Abrasion grade: 280 grit (fine)
• Format: replacement sheet compatible with sanding sponges and blocks
• Flexible backing for contour sanding
• Intended for manual sanding of small parts and surfaces

How to use

Cut the sheet to fit your sanding sponge or block carrier, then adhere or wrap it according to the sponge system you are using. Apply light, even pressure and sand along the surface or contour in controlled strokes. For best results on models, progress from coarser to finer abrasives when removing significant material; use the 280 grit sheet for final smoothing and blending of seams before priming or painting. Clean the workpiece of dust between sanding steps to assess the surface.

Usage recommendations

Use gentle, consistent strokes and check frequently to avoid removing detail. When working with delicate plastic or resin parts, test on a small area first. Replace the sheet when clogging reduces effectiveness or when edges become worn.
