Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000 - Flexible 5mm Sponge for Fine Finishing  [87171]

Precision finishing using the Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000

The Tamiya 87171 Polishing Sponge Sheet 3000 is built for modelers who need a fine 3000 grit for final surface smoothing. This sponge-backed abrasive gives a consistent, low-scratch finish on plastic model parts and helps prepare surfaces for paint or polish.

Sponge backing that bends with curves

Thanks to a 5mm sponge backing, the sheet conforms well to curved or irregular shapes. It is simple to trim with a modeler's knife for small sections or custom sanding blocks, letting you work on detailed areas without losing control.

Use on multiple materials

Although optimised for plastic, the Tamiya 87171 sheet also works on wood and light metal. It supports wet sanding, which reduces dust and heat during close finishing passes and can improve final clarity.

Size and packaging notes

The single sheet measures 114x140mm and is sold one per pack. The reverse is printed with the product name and the 3000 grit marking to make identification quick during a build session.
