Engineered for sanding large areas of paint down to metal with coarse grade abrasives, our 8 in 3M™ Stikit™ soft abrasive disc backup pad adds cushion and conformability to 3M™ Stikit™ sanding discs. Ideal for auto and marine body sanding applications, the pad's soft density foam with a 45 deg tapered edge closely conforms to contours and curves to deliver a uniform finish and minimize rework. The 3M™ Stikit™ soft abrasive disc backup pad achieves an efficient medium between cut rate and conformability. When removing paint from large areas requiring precision across contours and curves, obtaining uniform results can be a challenge. Designed for use with a coarse grade abrasive sanding disc, this high quality backup pad has an inch of soft foam to ensure a soft, fine scratch, while the tapered edge flexes for continual contact with the workpiece. Moreover, the foam reduces vibration common with large rotary sanders, increasing the clarity of the finish and improving operator comfort. These features help produce an extremely smooth, even foundation across the sanding area to make the repair process easier. The vinyl face of the pad securely holds a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) disc. The 3M™ Stikit™ system was designed for convenient disc changes between grades or applications. Our Stikit™ discs come ready-to-use with a high quality PSA coating on the backside so that attaching them to the disc pad is as simple as pressing on a sticker, yet they remove cleanly from a Stikit™ backup pad. Stikit™ discs tend to provide a more aggressive cut than do our 3M™ Hookit™ products. Use this soft backup pad with a fine grade 8 in Dia PSA abrasive disc on a slow speed polisher or grinder. The maximum rpm for this pad is 3000, a desirable speed for generating smooth, controlled finishing results. Our 3M™ Stikit™ soft abrasive disc backup pad is another way that 3M™ adds to the science of successful automotive aftermarket operations. 3M™ has carefully developed this pad for first rate performance during the collision repair sanding process, integrating ease of use with outstanding conformability and reduced vibration. This pad helps operators remove paint from large areas with ease and efficiency and provides superior support for professional, precise results.
