Cushioned Adhesive-Back Sanding Discs for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

The cushioned construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. These discs resist deterioration when used wet. Press onto a compatible sanding tool or backup pad (sold separately); peel off to remove. Also known as PSA discs. To maintain strong adhesion, clean the pad surface with mild alcohol before applying. Do not use aggressive cleaning solvents such as MEK or acetone, which can damage the adhesive.
