You can find Ebonite Abralon pads in varying grades to suit every stage, from initial smoothing to preparing for a high-gloss polish.

Tips for Using Sanding Pads Effectively

For best results, start with a coarser grit to address imperfections, then gradually move to finer grits for a satin or pre-polish surface. During wet sanding, use clean water to keep the pad and surface lubricated, which reduces friction and helps achieve a cleaner result. For dry sanding, keep movements consistent and avoid excessive pressure to maintain even wear on the pad. Pair these pads with polishing discs like the Polishing Sponge Discs 150mm for the final buff.

When Does Wet & Dry Sanding Matter?

The ability to switch between wet and dry sanding is essential for projects where surface perfection is key—such as epoxy table tops, transparent resin art, or intricate woodwork. Wet sanding is particularly useful for minimising airborne dust and achieving a scratch-free result, while dry sanding offers speed and convenience during initial material shaping.
