Foam Pads for Sanding – Sources
Sources of Foam Sanding Pads
How would you like to have a sanding tool that fits the shape of your hand or the object you are gripping, is waterproof, and is economical? This is not a problem if you happen to purchase a set of foam sanding pads.
There are many times in the past when I have had all sorts of trouble sanding round spindles or other curved objects. The foam pads are the answer. I also like them because they are reusable. When you finish a project, rinse them and they look like new.
I have found two companies that make the pads or sponge sanding tools. One of them sells their products on-line and the other one doesn't. In fact, the only company that sells their sponge pads on-line happens to have a very cool project kit that includes:
- 4 sponge pads with grits ranging from coarse to extra fine
- 4 different super glues
- a glue remover
- an all purpose abrasive file
You get all of this handy project stuff for just $19.99. It is a real deal! The company that has this great project kit is Surehold. Contact them at:
- Surehold
800-881-4495
The other company that sells foam sanding pads is:
- Norton
800-551-4415
In a 2012 review, it appears that Surehold might have dropped the foam sanding pads from their product. They seem to be selling adhesives only.
