Use during Stage 4 of the 3M Body Repair System
Our 3M™ Scuff Sanding Sponge is designed to make touching up curves, contours, corners and hard to reach areas easier. Designed for hand sanding tasks, use this 3-2/3 x 9-inch abrasive to hand sand primer and scuff the blend area prior to applying base coat and clear coat. After sanding primer, refine with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper, and then apply paint per manufacturer’s recommendations.
What is Scuff Sanding?
Instead of sandpaper, which is used for stripping paint or smoothing filler during auto body work, the 3M™ Scuff Sanding Sponge is designed for scuff sanding – a less aggressive job where instead of sanding down to the bare material, you simply add a “scuff” to the primed or coated surface. This process essentially leaves the surface slightly textured. Scuff sanding is often necessary because most modern base and clear coat paint systems rely on a chemical bond for strength and durability. These systems may not be able to establish this chemical bond with your existing surface. Using the 3M™ Scuff Sanding Sponge you create a “mechanical” bond – a scuff – which essentially gives the base coat or clear coat paint system a series of edges to adhere to. The end result is a smooth, long-lasting and professional grade finish for your vehicle.
Designed Specifically for Scuff Sanding
Ideal for use during Stage 4 of our 3M™ Body Repair System, the 3M™ Scuff Sanding Sponge is designed for scuffing base, primed, or painted surfaces during auto body painting. This sponge features our non-fibrous aluminum oxide abrasive on a durable nylon backing. The entire pad is resin coated, so neither the non-woven backing nor the abrasive will deposit tiny particles on the surface, helping to ensure a smooth finish. The pad is ideal for scuff sanding, and is also suitable for removing light surface rust. It can be used wet or dry and rinses clean for repeat use.
About the 3M™ Body Repair System
Created to simplify auto body repair jobs, our 3M™ Body Repair System has four stages: Prepare, which includes masking, paint and rust removal; Repair, which can encompass dent pulling and patching holes; Fill, including filling, sanding and featheredging; and Finish, which can involve priming, painting and polishing the vehicle surface. 3M also supplies products such as abrasives, tapes, body filler and tools that work together during each stage of a repair to help you accomplish each step easily, efficiently and successfully.
Stage 1 products are for removal of material in damaged areas in preparation for treatments and repair. These products help mask the area and remove paint and rust.
Stage 2 products are for removing dents, treating and repairing rust, reinforcing holes in preparation for filler application, pulling dents patching holes and making small repairs.
Stage 3 products are for applying body filler, feathering, sanding, and re-applying. These products are for preparing the surface for primer.
Stage 4 products are for the final step -- sealing with primer, paint and polish.
