Fine Finishing with Tamiya 87233

The Tamiya 87233 Sanding Cloth #1500 is a handy finishing tool for RC enthusiasts tackling body shells and small components. Its pliable surface follows contours so you can even out surfaces without aggressive gouging.

Multi-Material Hobby Use

This sanding cloth is effective on plastic model car bodies and also works on light metal and wood for repairs or detailing. Suitable for both wet and dry sanding, it resists creasing that can spoil a smooth finish.

Colour Coding and Grit Levels

Grit numbers show abrasive strength; Tamiya ranges from 600 (sky blue) up to 3000 (gray). The pink #1500 grit hits a midpoint for removing imperfections while leaving a fine surface ready for polishing.

Which surfaces are best for this grit?

#1500 is ideal for smoothing minor imperfections on plastic shells and for light work on metal before moving to finer grits.

Does the cloth handle painted surfaces?

You can use it on paint to level small runs and dust nibs, but proceed carefully and finish with finer grades for a polished look.

How should I store unused cloth?

Keep it flat or rolled in a dry container to avoid kinks. Store away from direct sunlight and dust to preserve the abrasive surface.

Can I use this with a sanding block?

Yes, wrapping the cloth around a small block gives a flatter sanding face for larger panels. For tight curves use it freehand to follow the contour.
