Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet 1000

A sponge-backed sander that reaches where flat sheets can't. The flexible foam base lets this 1000-grit sheet mould to curves and dip into hard-to-reach corners, knocking back protrusions and seams on plastic, wood and metal. Cut it to whatever size you need with a hobby knife, and use it wet for an even finer finish.
