Linear Blocking Tools Wet Sandpaper 800G (STICKY BACKED)

800 wet paper

I stated my project with 800 on the 18” flex block. I felt that the paper wasn’t as aggressive as some other 800 sheets that I’ve used in the past. I was disappointed that the paper leaves behind sticky residue as well which means the block has to be cleaned every time. Overall, the paper performs well, the blocks are amazing and make a huge difference in the bodywork as well as the wet sanding process.

Decent paper, doesn’t stick well

I have been in restoration 20 plus years, I have used a lot of different brands of papers, wet and dry. Having a sticky backed wet type paper is great and this paper does work but only sticks to a hard surface type block, which I use for straight blocking but It will not stick to different foam blocks no matter how hard I try to make it. If I leave this paper on a hard block overnight it leaves glue all over my block. Lesson what not to do. Overall paper is decent, it doesn’t perform as well as another leading brand but that brand doesn’t offer sticky back so try to work on glue.

Great and horrible

Much needed product idea but the paper loads up fairly quick so must be changed often, I can deal with that but each change the block has excessive adhesive left behind and must be cleaned so very time consuming. I tried wetting the block and paper before applying it and that helped slightly…..
