This sanding roll is available in multiple grit options. Coarser grits remove material faster for levelling and shaping, while finer grits help refine the surface before priming and painting.

FAQs

Which grit should I choose for paint preparation?

It depends on the surface condition and the stage of the job. Start coarser for levelling repairs or keying tougher coatings, then step down to refine before painting.

Is this suitable for sanding filler repairs (plaster/putty)?

Yes. Hiomant is suitable for plaster/putty. Use a grit appropriate for shaping first, then refine with a finer grit to blend edges.

Can I use this sanding roll on previously painted walls?

Yes – it’s suitable for paint sanding. For keying, you’re aiming to dull the surface evenly rather than remove all paint.

Is it suitable for woodwork like doors, skirting and architrave?

Yes. It’s suitable for hardwood and soft/resinous wood. Choose grit based on whether you’re removing defects or refining before finishing.

What size is the roll?

This roll is 115mm wide and 50m long.

What type of abrasive is it?

It uses aluminium oxide grain with a semi-open coating and resin over resin bonding, on E-paper/D-paper backing.

Can I sand between coats with this?

Yes, using a finer grit. Between coats you typically de-nib and lightly key the surface rather than sanding aggressively.

How do I reduce clogging when sanding?

Use light pressure, keep the abrasive moving, and clear dust regularly. Vacuuming or brushing dust away between passes also helps.

Do I need a sanding block?

A sanding block helps keep pressure even and reduces finger marks, especially on flat walls and woodwork. Cut a strip from the roll to suit your block.

What else should I buy with it?

Common add-ons include masking and surface protection, filler for repairs, a sanding block, and PPE suitable for sanding dust.
