A sanding pad is a vital support when hand-sanding. It not solely helps guarantee a flat floor as a result of it itself is flat, however the proper ones additionally make gripping sandpaper much less taxing. My drawback is I hardly ever have one available. If I make one, I invariably lose it, so I find yourself grabbing a chunk of scrap of about the proper dimension after which making do.
Due to Infinity’s sanding pads, I’m achieved settling. I attempted the 5-in. round and mouse pads when sanding a pair of inside doorways, and each labored a deal with. Every match my 5-in. mesh disks completely, making altering them each a breeze and satisfying. The round pad was simple to grip and allowed for good strain each one- and two-handed. It additionally labored effectively when sanding edges, because it has sufficient room to wrap my fingers beneath it to register them alongside a board’s face. The mouse pad additionally sat properly in my hand. I used it extra for managed end sanding.
One other perk: The pads are yellow, in order that they had been simple to identify amid all the opposite litter on my bench. It’s a pleasant profit once I’m already annoyed as a result of I’m sanding.
Infinity additionally sells a 6-in. round pad.
