Mirka Abralon 3″ Foam Polishing Grip Discs, 8A-203

Product Description:

Mirka Abralon 3″ Foam Polishing Grip Discs (8A-203 Series) are award-winning abrasives constructed of a unique multi-functional sanding material, developed for the flexible sanding of both smooth and profiled surfaces.

By combining the benefits of cloth and non-woven products, its patented, flexible construction allows it to create a smooth sanding pattern on angled surfaces and edges while minimizing the risk of pressure marks. The flexible weave also allows water and air to pass freely, making it suitable for both wet and dry sanding, by machine or hand.

Abralon discs are washable, extending the life of the disc while keeping your finishes consistent time after time. Abralon performs best when used at slower speeds so set sanding machine speed to low.

May be followed with Mirka Polarshine Compounds and Polishes if desired to achieve a particular gloss level.
