3M 7000045663 Wetordry Sponge Sanding Pad 2.75x5.5x0.375 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045663 is a firm hand sanding pad designed to be used with a three-fold wrap of abrasive sheet stock, including Silicon Carbide Paper Sheets, Wetordry Color Sanding Paper Sheets, or Production Gold Paper Sheets. The pad holds the sheet securely during hand sanding passes, distributing pressure evenly across the work surface to improve consistency and reduce fatigue. Measuring 2.75 inches x 5.5 inches x 0.375 inches, it fits standard abrasive sheet cuts commonly used in automotive refinishing, marine, and general surface prep applications. It weighs 0.03 pounds and is sold as an individual unit.

This pad is suited for wet or dry hand sanding tasks where a controlled, firm backing is needed to achieve flat, even scratch patterns. Typical applications include color sanding automotive clear coat, leveling primer, smoothing body filler, and finish sanding fiberglass or composite surfaces. It is commonly used by auto body technicians, marine finishers, and industrial painters who require consistent hand pressure over a defined pad footprint without the distortion introduced by bare-hand sanding.

Key Features

• Firm foam construction distributes hand pressure evenly across the abrasive sheet surface

Compatibility

Installation Notes

No tools are required to mount the abrasive sheet to the pad. Wrap the abrasive sheet around the pad in a three-fold configuration before use, ensuring the sheet is taut and seated flat against the sanding face. When used in wet sanding applications, keep the work surface and pad adequately lubricated to prevent loading. Dispose of worn abrasive sheets and inspect the pad for compression or deformation that would reduce sanding flatness.
