What Size Resin Pads Are Best for Large Projects?

Ideal Size for Large Surfaces

For projects such as resin-coated tables or sizeable artwork panels, 150mm sanding or polishing pads are highly recommended. Their wider diameter allows you to cover more surface area with each pass, reducing time and effort compared to using smaller pads. This size is widely compatible with most standard polishers and sanders, making it a versatile choice for both hobbyists and professionals.

• Optimal for tabletops, countertops, and large wood panels
• Suitable for both sanding and polishing stages
• Compatible with most rotary polishers and pad holders

Practical Sanding and Polishing Advice

Start your finishing process with a 150mm pad featuring a coarser grit to smooth out imperfections, then gradually move to finer grits for a sleek finish. Consider using multi-grit kits, such as the Dry Sanding Discs Kit 150mm, which offers an assortment suitable for a complete sanding workflow. After sanding, switch to a polishing pad—like the 150mm Polishing Sponge Discs—to achieve an impressive, glossy shine.

When Size Matters Most

Selecting a larger resin pad truly makes a difference when you need consistent, even coverage across extensive surfaces. If you work primarily on large projects or commercial commissions, this can greatly improve efficiency and help you maintain an even finish without streaks or missed spots.
