This time we\u2019re looking at this Ultra-Flexible sandpaper by 3M. I got four sheets of this for around $7 on Amazon, which is kinda pricey for sandpaper but I\u2019ll show you why it\u2019s special.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all familiar with sandpaper. Sometimes, there\u2019s just no substitution for sanding something by hand.<\/p>\n<p>These Ultra Flexible sheets aren\u2019t paper at all. The grit is backed by a smooth plastic film that feels like packing tape, but stretchy. It is the limpest, floppiest sandpaper I\u2019ve ever used. And honestly it weirded me out when I first tried it. It\u2019s a very different feel.<\/p>\n<p>But there are some huge advantages. The packaging states that it lasts 15 times longer than conventional sandpaper, but it doesn\u2019t say why.<\/p>\n<p>One reason is that it doesn\u2019t rip. You could destroy it if really try, but the plastic back would rather stretch than rip.<\/p>\n<p>It also doesn\u2019t crease. I can fold it, I can roll it up, I can form it around complex shapes, I can crinkle it up into a little ball if I want &#8212; but it just goes back to being this floppy sheet of sandpaper. So it\u2019s very versatile.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be used wet or dry, since there\u2019s nothing to get soggy. The flexibility makes it resistant to clogging. And you can shake them out like a rag, or whip them on the table if you need to knock anything loose.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re cool. I\u2019m glad I have them. They come in Medium, Fine, and Extra Fine grit. I\u2019ve been keeping a Medium sheet rolled up at my workbench that I use almost like a sanding rag. Mark from Cool Tools has been using these for sanding the wooden spoons that he whittles.<\/p>\n<p>3M SandBlaster Ultra Flexible Sanding Sheets:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2G8hsMT\">Medium<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2BnsSco\">Fine<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Dw9EH7\">X-Fine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better than sandpaper<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41,2337],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31674"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31674"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31676,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31674\/revisions\/31676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
