Sanding Sponges and Sponge Sheets

Sanding Sponges and Sponge Sheets

Working on tight curves, rounded armor plates, or aircraft intakes demands a sanding medium that bends without biting. Our Sanding Sponges and Sponge Sheets give hobbyists a flexible, clog-resistant alternative to rigid papers, helping you refine surfaces, feather putty, and prepare parts for a flawless paint job. Inside this collection you’ll find trusted options from Tamiya, AMMO by MIG, Mirka, and other workshop favorites—organized so you can choose the right density and grit in seconds.

What you’ll find in this collection

• Sponge sheets in broad grit ranges – from P180 for shaping up to P3000 for ultra-fine polishing.

• Precut hobby sizes and full sheets – drop-in fits for small parts or larger panels.

• Flexible, foam-backed abrasives – conform to curves and edges with even contact.

• Brand variety – proven lines from Tamiya, AMMO by MIG, Mirka, and more to match your preference and budget.

• Modeling-ready formats – soft-back, thin pads, and long-lasting sponges that resist loading and tearing.

Advantages, uses, and quick tips

Switching to sponges is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your finishing workflow. The foam backing distributes pressure, keeps corners from digging in, and dramatically reduces accidental flat-spotting on curved parts.

• Smoother control on contours: foam carries abrasive evenly, so you can sand gun barrels, fuselage fillets, cowlings, and turret domes without chatter.

• Cleaner edges: wrap a strip around a cocktail stick or file to blend seam lines where rigid files won’t reach.

• Feather putty and CA: step through P400 → P800 → P1500 to erase ridges while protecting surrounding plastic.

• Paint prep & de-nibbing: after primer, a quick pass with P1000–P2000 levels dust specs for glass-smooth color coats.

• Clear-part finesse: refine with P2000–P3000, then polish—perfect for canopies and headlights.

• Wet sanding friendly: most sheets work great with water, keeping dust down and extending life.

Brand highlights to help you choose

• Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet: consistent grit, thin yet durable foam; excellent for progressive finishing.

• AMMO by MIG Sponge Sheets: modeling-centric grits and sizes at a great value, ideal for daily benchwork.

• Mirka Soft-back Sponges: professional auto-finish pedigree; superb for ultra-fine leveling on larger areas.

How to build a smart sanding set (fast)

• Core shaping: P240–P400 to remove mold lines and blend putty.

• General finishing: P600–P1000 for primer prep and smoothing.

• Pre-paint polish: P1500–P2000 to level primer and color.

• Detail & clear parts: P2500–P3000 before liquid polish.

• Cut custom shapes: use scissors to make narrow strips for vents and panel recesses.

• Mark your grits: write the grit on the back edge so offcuts stay organized.
