Fast-Cutting Abrasive Mesh Sanding Strips
Sianet Sanding Strips are a brilliant abrasive mesh for sanding wood, MDF, primer, paint, lacquer and other workshop surfaces. They cut cleanly, resist clogging and last well compared with ordinary sandpaper.
 
I use this type of sanding mesh regularly in my own woodturning and general workshop work, and customers who try it often come back for more.
 
180 Grit – Smoothing After the Heavy Work
180 grit is the next step after heavier sanding and is ideal for refining the surface after 80 or 120 grit. It helps remove the scratches left by coarser abrasives and begins to prepare the work for a smoother finish.
 
For woodturning, 180 grit is useful after the main tool marks and shaping issues have already been dealt with. It helps even out the surface before moving on to 240 grit and finer finishing grits.
 
Cut to Size for the Job in Front of You
Each strip is 70mm wide x 420mm long, giving you plenty of material to cut to whatever length or width suits the job.
 
Use a full strip, cut narrow sanding strips for spindle work, make small pieces for detail sanding, or wrap it around a block for flatter surfaces.
 
Why Sianet Works Better Than Ordinary Sandpaper
The mesh backing allows dust to pass through the abrasive instead of building up on the surface.
 
This helps the strip keep cutting for longer and reduces clogging, especially on wood, MDF, paint, primer and finishes.
 
It is flexible, strong and easy to use by hand, with sanding blocks, around shaped work, or on turned pieces.
 
Useful On More Than Just Timber
Although I use Sianet mostly for woodturning and woodworking, it is also useful for general sanding jobs, painted surfaces, primer, acrylic lacquer, MDF, solid surface material and plaster.
