3M 7100242365 Brite Blending Hand Pad 6x9 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100242365 Brite Blending Hand Pad is a medium-grade silicon carbide abrasive pad designed for surface preparation and finishing work in automotive, industrial, and general fabrication settings. Measuring 6 inches x 9 inches, it features an open, aggressive web construction that cuts efficiently while resisting loading. The open web structure allows debris and swarf to clear from the pad during use, maintaining consistent abrasive action across the work surface. Licensed tradespeople and finishing technicians use this pad for graining, cleaning, denibing, defuzzing, and blending surfaces where controlled material removal is needed.

This hand pad is suited for light to medium surface prep tasks on metal, wood, plastic, and painted surfaces. It can be used by hand, mounted on a hand pad block, or attached to an in-line sander, making it adaptable to a variety of workstation and field finishing scenarios. Common applications include blending body filler, scuffing primer, and preparing surfaces before topcoat application in body shop and industrial finishing environments.

Installation Notes

Surface prep pads of this type are typically used by finishing technicians, body shop technicians, and industrial painters. Ensure the work surface is free of loose contamination before use. When mounting to a hand pad block or in-line sander, confirm the pad is seated securely and flat before applying pressure to the work surface. Follow applicable shop safety protocols, including respiratory protection when sanding materials that generate fine particulate.
