About product

What 1000 grit means

The number gives the coarseness of the abrasive: the higher it is, the smaller the grain and the finer the trace on the surface. 1000 grit no longer belongs to the shaping steps but to the finishing ones. It removes almost no material, yet it evens out the scratches left by coarser sanding and leaves the surface smooth enough that every movement of the hand does not show on it. The description ultra fine confirms that position.

What it is suited to

It is used at the end of a sanding sequence, that is where the shape is already finished and only the surface is at stake. Typically after filler has been leveled and joints sanded down, before a base coat is applied, or between individual coats, when a grain of dust or a small irregularity has to be refined without disturbing the shape of the edge beneath it.

  • 1000 grit, that is a fine finishing step
  • It evens out the traces of coarser sanding and prepares the surface under paint
  • It removes a minimum of material, so the edges stay intact
  • Usable on plastic, on filler and on a dried coat of paint

How to proceed

Always work from a coarser grain to a finer one; a skipped step shows in that the fine abrasive merely polishes the earlier scratches instead of leveling them. Work in short strokes in one direction and keep the pressure light, as the grain does the work, not force. Keep removing the sanding dust, or it will get under the abrasive and make scratches. If the form allows wet sanding, the area stays cleaner and the surface comes out smoother. Wash and degrease the part before painting.

Who it is for

For modelers who fine-tune a surface before spraying and want an area free of visible traces of coarser sanding.

FAQ

For finishing sanding. It evens out the scratches left by a coarser grain and prepares the surface under a base coat, without changing the shape of the part.

Not on its own. Level filler and joints with a coarser abrasive first and leave 1000 grit for the end, or you will merely polish the surface.

Yes, that is exactly what a fine abrasive suits. Light strokes will refine a grain of dust or an irregularity in a dried coat; degrease the surface afterwards.

Keep the pressure light, use short strokes in one direction and keep removing the sanding dust, so that it does not get under the abrasive.
