Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet 1500

Fine finishing that follows every contour. Tamiya's 1500-grit sanding sponge sheet is the step that gets a surface ready for polishing — its flexible foam base moulds into curves and dips into corners a rigid sanding stick simply can't reach. Cut it down to whatever size you need and work wet or dry across plastic, resin, wood or metal.

Why it's good

• Flexes into curves and recesses instead of skating over them
• Fine 1500 grit leaves a smooth, even finish ready for polishing or gloss coats
• Cut to size with scissors or a knife — one sheet, endless small jobs

How to use

• Work wet for a finer, dust-free finish on canopies and clear parts
• Follow on from a coarser grit before moving to polishing compound
• Keep a few grits on the bench — each step gets you closer to flawless

It's the difference between a "good enough" seam and one that vanishes entirely under gloss or a canopy coat.

The fine-finishing step in the sequence. Follow on from the 600 grit sheet and finish with the 2000 grit for a mirror-ready surface.
