About product

The U-STAR transparent sanding pad in a red version

A rigid thin pad with an abrasive surface from the workshop range of the U-STAR brand. It serves for flat sanding of small modeling parts, that is, for the work at which sanding paper held in the hand fails, because it flexes under the fingers and the edge then comes out rounded. On a flat pad a part is led with a smooth stroke and the result is a square edge or a precisely leveled gluing surface.

Where the pad comes in useful

  • Removing the remains of gates after a part has been nipped off the sprue.
  • Sanding parting lines down on fuselages, hulls, wheels and tanks.
  • Levelling a mating surface before two halves are glued together.
  • Squaring up the ends of brass tubes, profiles and plastic rods.
  • Chamfering an edge and cleaning up resin castings and photo-etched parts.

How to work with it

Lay the pad on a firm surface and lead the part over it with light strokes in one direction, without pressure. Check the work against the light as you go and turn the part, so that the material is removed evenly. With softer plastics it pays to sand wet, as water carries the dust away and the abrasive surface does not clog as much. When finished, rinse the pad and let it dry freely, so that no remains of material harden on it.

Who it is for

For modelers who care about clean seams and precisely mating parts, and for everyone who works with resin, photo-etched parts or metal profiles and needs a reliably flat abrasive surface at hand.

Do not inhale the sanding dust; work in a well-ventilated space, ideally wet. Store the pad out of reach of children.

FAQ

The difference is not stated here beyond the color. With similar aids a color sometimes marks the coarseness, but that is not confirmed in this case. If you need a particular grit, check it before ordering.

The grit is not stated here. For final finishing it is therefore better to have fine sanding paper ready as well.

With modeling plastic wet sanding is usually an advantage, because water carries the dust away and the surface does not clog. Rinse the pad after work and dry it.

For curved and intricate shapes. There a flexible sanding sponge or a sanding stick will do a better job, as they follow the surface.
