Precision finishing with Tamiya 87163 polishing sponge sheet

The Tamiya 87163 Polishing Sponge Sheet 320 offers hobbyists a reliable way to refine model surfaces. It is suitable for plastic kits and works well on small wood and metal parts, helping you remove blemishes and prepare surfaces for paint.

Conforms to curves and tight areas

The sponge core gives this sheet the flexibility to follow curved panels and reach recessed details, producing a consistent finish where flat sandpaper can miss. That adaptability makes it handy for rounded fenders and contoured bodywork.

Trim to size for detailed work

Cut the Tamiya 87163 sheet with a modelling knife to create custom shapes for edges, panel lines and hard-to-reach spots. This lets you tackle both large flat areas and delicate details with the same abrasive material.

Use wet or dry for smoother results

The sheet performs well with wet sanding, which reduces dust and allows a finer surface before priming or painting. Wet use preserves delicate parts and helps achieve an even, low-scratch finish.

Start with a coarser pad then finish with the 320 grit to remove minor imperfections before using a finer polish. This progression gives a cleaner primer surface ready for paint.
Yes, with care. Light, controlled passes are best to avoid cutting through paint. Use wet sanding to limit heat and dust when touching up finished areas.
Rinse after wet sanding and let it dry flat. Store away from direct sunlight and high heat to keep the backing material from degrading.
