Finishing Control with Tamiya 87170 Polishing Sponge Sheet 2000

The Tamiya 87170 Polishing Sponge Sheet 2000 combines aluminium oxide abrasive with a 5mm sponge backing to give hobbyists precise control when refining RC model surfaces. Its flexible backing helps reduce pressure marks and improves final surface consistency.

Suitable for Many Materials

Use this sponge sheet on plastics, painted surfaces, wood or metal components. Its adaptability makes it ideal for seam smoothing, paint prep and delicate contour work on small parts.

Trim to Fit for Detail Work

Measuring 114x140mm, the sheet is simple to trim with a modelers knife to create small pads or custom shapes. It also performs well as a wet sanding medium for smoother results.

Labelled for Easy Identification

The reverse side shows the grit and basic product info so you can verify the 2000 grade at a glance before use.

Can I use this sheet for wet sanding on painted shells?

Yes, the Tamiya 87170 works well wet or dry; wet sanding reduces clogging and helps achieve a silky finish on painted lexan or polycarbonate shells.

What is the easiest way to cut it for small contours?

Use a sharp modelling knife on a cutting mat and score several light passes to avoid tearing the sponge backing. Small templates help keep shapes consistent.

How do I maintain the sheet between sessions?

Rinse lightly if used wet, let dry flat, and store in a sealed bag to prevent grit contamination. Replace when the abrasive feels smooth or clogged.
