About product

Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet, 320 grit (sanding sponge)

This is a modeling tool, not a kit. The abrasive is bonded to a flexible sponge backing, so the sheet is not rigid like sandpaper: it bends and follows the shape of the surface. That is a decisive advantage on rounded parts such as fuselages, cowlings, turrets and the helmets of figures, where rigid paper easily takes down an edge or sands a flat spot. The sponge can be cut into smaller pieces as needed and it reaches into places that are harder to get at.

Grit 320, the coarser end of the scale

With abrasives a simple rule applies: a lower number means a coarser abrasive, a higher number a finer one. Grit 320 belongs among the coarser ones and is intended for removing material, not for finishing. You always work from a coarser grit to a finer one: the coarse one does the job, the fine one then smooths out the scratches left by the coarse one. The other way round does not work: a fine abrasive will not smooth out the scratches left by a coarse one, it will only polish them and make them more visible. After sanding with 320 grit, always continue with a finer abrasive before you put primer or varnish on the surface.

Use

  • Removing the remains of sprue gates and the burrs left when a part is clipped from the runner.
  • Leveling casting blocks, parting seams and flash from the mold.
  • Rough leveling of dried filler on the seams of a fuselage, wings and a hull.
  • Sanding rounded and broken-up surfaces where rigid sandpaper will not conform.
  • Wet sanding: moisten both the sponge and the part with water. There is far less dust, the abrasive clogs less and the surface comes out smoother.

Who it is for

For every modeler who builds plastic kits and needs to prepare a clean surface before painting. The aid also suits beginners: a rounded shape is harder to spoil with a sponge than with rigid sandpaper.

A modeling aid. Do not inhale the sanding dust: use respiratory protection, work in a ventilated area and ideally sand wet. Keep out of the reach of children.

FAQ

The number gives the grit: a lower number means a coarser abrasive, a higher one a finer abrasive. Grit 320 belongs among the coarser grits and serves to remove material, for flash, casting blocks and rough leveling of filler. It is too coarse as a finish under varnish, so a finer abrasive follows it.

It is not recommended. Grit 320 leaves visible scratches that varnish or primer will rather emphasize. Work from a coarser to a finer grit: a fine abrasive will not smooth out the scratches left by a coarse one, it will only polish them.

The sponge is flexible, it bends and follows a rounded surface. Rigid paper easily takes down an edge or sands a flat spot on a curved part. On fuselages, cowlings, turrets and figures the sponge is markedly safer.

Yes, wet sanding is positively recommended with it. Moisten both the sponge and the part with water: the dust drops sharply, the abrasive clogs less and the resulting surface tends to be smoother.
