Now it's possible to get the most aggressive surface texture without that "cheese grater" look. Abralon sanding pads use silicon carbide particles that are precision sifted to a consistent grain size, then bonded evenly to a six-inch round fabric face for the most even scratch pattern available. Cosmetically appealing, consistent scratch pattern provides excellent traction Opening in the fabric allows water to flow freely around the abrasive Resists "caking" Foam center holds large amounts of water for lubrication and cooling Solid surface and foam backing provide even surface pressure Last 5+ times longer than sandpaper Use wet or dry (residual material can be removed by high pressure air) 180 - Heaviest Sratches 360 - Heavy Scratches 500 - Medium Scratches 1000 - Return to Ebonite Factory Sanded Finish 2000 - Mild Luster with Texture Underneath 3000 - High Luster with Texture Underneath 4000 - High Luster with Smooth Texture
