While sandpaper and a sander are key components to getting a sanding job done, several other accessories can make or break a project. Here’s what to stock to round out the sanding category at your operation.
A sanding sponge is easy-to-hold and ideal for hard-to-reach areas that need sanding. The Diablo ULTRAflex 100-Grit Sanding Sponge comes with medium grit for light removal and final preparation before painting and contours into different spaces. Get even more control and finite movement with the 5-inch Sanding Mouse from Peachtree, which is ergonomically designed and uses traditional hook and loop sandpapers.
Sanding blocks attach to sandpaper and also make it easier to use and control sandpaper. The Red Devil Plastic Sandpaper Holder holds a 4 ½ by 5-inch quarter sheet of sandpaper and has textured sides for gripping and a rubber pad that conforms to curved surfaces.
With a variety of options, the Cleaning Compound Variety 5 Pack from Porter Tools comes with polishing compounds for heavy-duty to light polishing and sanding jobs.
