Smooth finishing with the Tamiya 87163 polishing sponge

The Tamiya 87163 Polishing Sponge Sheet 320 is a handy tool for modellers aiming for clean, even surfaces. It tackles plastic bodies and can also be used on small wooden and metal parts when preparing for paint or varnish.

Flexible backing for irregular parts

The sponge layer allows the abrasive to flex, making it easier to sand curved guards and rounded panels without introducing flat spots or uneven wear.

Cut to match the job at hand

Quickly trim the Tamiya 87163 to make small blocks or thin strips for edging and tight gaps. Custom pieces let you work confidently on both broad panels and intricate trim areas.

Wet sanding for cleaner results

Using the sheet wet reduces airborne dust and helps achieve a finer finish. Wet sanding is especially useful when refining small scale parts or smoothing primer coats.

Water is usually sufficient. A little soapy water can help clear debris but avoid solvents that may affect the backing material.
Yes, the 320 grit sheet is good for initial primer refinement before moving to finer pads or polishing compounds.
Use light pressure, keep the piece supported, and frequently check progress. Cut the sheet into small shapes to limit contact area around delicate features.
