About product

Tamiya Sanding Cloth, 1500 grit - abrasive cloth

An abrasive cloth from Tamiya with a grit of 1500, one sheet measuring 170 x 130 mm. It is not a kit and not a model but a tool and a consumable abrasive material. Against sandpaper it has a fabric backing: it is flexible, it goes around rounded shapes and rounded edges, and it does not fold or crack at a bend - and it is precisely creases in paper that tend to cause unexpectedly deep scratches. It can be sanded dry and wet.

The middle step - why it cannot be skipped

Grits work so that a higher number means a finer grain, and sanding goes from coarser to finer. The fifteen hundred is the middle member of the trio 1000 / 1500 / 2000. Its single but crucial job is to remove the scratches left by 1000 grit and to pass the surface on in a state where 2000 grit only smooths it to a finish. Anyone who leaves this step out and jumps from the thousand straight to the two thousand merely polishes the coarse scratches - they do not disappear, and after spraying they show through under the paint, especially under a gloss color or a metallic.

Use

  • Smoothing the scratches left by sanding with the coarser 1000 grit.
  • Preparing the surface for the final 2000 grit and for spraying.
  • Finishing filled areas and joints after coarser leveling.
  • Sanding rounded parts - the cloth follows the shape of a car body or a fuselage.
  • Wet sanding: with water there is no dust (dust from plastic and filler should not be inhaled), the abrasive does not clog and the result is smoother.

Who it is for

For modelers who build a surface systematically - that is, for everyone who wants a smooth base under the paint. In practice it almost always makes sense to have all three grits: 1000 at the start, this 1500 in the middle and 2000 at the end.

A tool and a consumable, not a kit. Do not inhale the sanding dust - ideally sand wet, otherwise with respiratory protection and ventilation.

FAQ

The higher the number, the finer the grain. 1000 is the coarsest and is where you start, 1500 removes its scratches and 2000 finishes the surface before spraying. They are three steps of one process, not alternatives to one another.

We do not recommend it. The two thousand is too fine to remove the scratches left by the thousand - it only smooths them over. The coarse scratches stay and after spraying they show through under the paint, above all under a gloss and a metallic.

Cloth. The fabric backing is flexible, adapts to rounded shapes and does not crack at a bend. The manufacturer states that the soft cloth creases little, so it does not make deep scratches.

Yes, the manufacturer states dry and wet use alike. Wet there is no dust, the abrasive clogs less and the surface comes out smoother.
