FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • Soft, medium or hard backing pad?

    Soft for curved surfaces (panel work). Medium for general use. Hard for flat surface + edge work. Match density to work surface.

  • Interface pad: when?

    Sits between backing pad and abrasive disc - cushions abrasive on curved surfaces, extends life. Standard on automotive refinish + curved panel work.

  • Hand sander or block?

    Hand sander for moderate manual sanding - mounting plate for abrasive. Sanding block for small detail + corner work - rigid base prevents flex. Both belong on the trade truck.

  • How Do Sanding Accessories Improve Sanding Efficiency?

    Sanding accessories are designed to bring out the best performance from your sanding tasks, enhancing both efficiency and precision. They act as essential add-ons for your sander, catering to a variety of applications across materials like wood, metal, and plaster.

    From interface pads that reduce vibrations to backing pads that ensure a secure fit for your abrasives, these tools help optimise results. Many of these accessories are compatible with dust extraction systems, keeping your workspace clean by collecting debris directly at the source. This not only improves air quality but also reduces cleanup time and minimises wear on your equipment.

    Pairing the right sanding accessory with your tool ensures smoother finishes, better control, and extended equipment longevit

  • What abrasive grit sequence should I use with sanding accessories?

    Start with a coarser grit to remove material quickly, then step through finer grits for a smooth finish. For bare timber: P80 → P120 → P180. For paint preparation: P120 → P180 → P240. For topcoat finishing: P240 → P320 → P400+. Skip no more than one grit step at a time — skipping grits leaves scratch marks visible under the final coat. When using dust-free sanding systems, ensure the extraction hose is connected and the extractor bag or HEPA filter is not blocked, as blocked extraction reduces both finish quality and operator safety.
