Sanding sponges

I have 3M 80, 120 and 220 grits I really like and I've used them for almost 4 months now. Wash out every once in a while and keep going. They wear out eventually but last way longer than regular for me. Only use regular sandpaper for detail work or on a sander.

:thumbsup: Check Check.

TY.

I have an assortment of sanding pads and sponges. Ive had them for years. I haven't bought sandpaper for nearly as long.

Go for it. Nothing better for rounding edges. 3M will always be the best ones.

3M also makes some thinner sheets that are great for tight rounded places

Agree with everything mentioned already about these products, they are great.

Honored dudes..... 3M might as well stand for "Mars Mars & Mars".

American stuff doesn't make it here.

But yes I will get these sponges.... either Pak or Chinese. No problem. Just wanted to know if they are worth the trouble.

try the gray, green, blue scrub pads too. Mine say made in China. jmho. be well

I have a sack full. They don't wear out so much as they get finer in grain. I get mine at Harbor Freight , I like the ones that have a wedged side.

I use them and they are awesome. The best for rounding edges and following contours.

I sure like they great for getting into odd shapes and much easier on the hands

Would'nt put you off the sponges Sean. I have a couple kicking around that I use back & forward.

My main go to when working wood & metal is good quality grit papers & scrap off cuts of leather as a backing..sometimes I glue a few pieces of this together to add a bit of stiffness when needed.

I find you can control convex/concave profiles better.
