3M 7000045971 Hand Sanding Pad Very Fine 6x9 in 20pk

Product Description

The 3M 7000045971 is a non-woven hand sanding pad designed for fine surface preparation, finishing, and cleaning tasks across a range of trade and industrial applications. Measuring 6 inches by 9 inches and constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive in a very fine grade, this maroon rectangular pad delivers consistent scratch patterns without loading quickly. The non-woven construction allows the pad to conform to contoured surfaces and provides a degree of flexibility that sheet abrasives cannot match. Each package contains 20 pads, making it a practical stock item for shops, service vans, and job sites.

This pad is suited for light scuffing between finish coats, surface cleaning, deburring light oxidation, and prep work on metal, wood, or composite surfaces. Tradespeople in plumbing, HVAC, and general construction use non-woven pads like this for cleaning pipe fittings, scuffing painted surfaces before bonding, and removing light corrosion from metal components. The very fine grade makes it appropriate for finish-stage work rather than aggressive material removal.

Installation Notes

This pad is used by hand without power equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection when sanding or abrading surfaces. Inspect the pad for wear or loading before each use and replace when abrasive effectiveness diminishes. Dispose of used pads in accordance with local regulations, particularly when residues from coatings or metals are present.
