Fast Cut, Fine Finish on Wood and Painted Metal
3M™ Paper Sheet 426U is a premium silicon carbide sheet that creates a smoother finish than aluminum oxide or garnet abrasive products on painted metal and wood substrates. Its resin bond construction provides superior grain retention while the open coat construction, along with the load resistant coating, combine to provide excellent anti-loading characteristics. The light A-weight backing provides conformability over contours and into crevasses and corners.

Final Finishing by Hand or Power Sander
The sheet can also be easily cut to fit a hand pad block, inline sanders, or finishing or power sanders. Other applications include general sanding, finishing, blending, surface leveling and prep prior to staining or painting. These versatile sanding sheets contain the ideal abrasive grain type and grades for multi-step finishing processes.

A 3M Best for Finishing Hard and Soft Woods
