3M Company 917DC-NA Fine Flexible Sanding Sponge

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY 917DC-NA is a fine-grit flexible sanding sponge designed for contour and surface finishing work. Built on a 5mm contour softback foam construction, it conforms to curved and irregular surfaces where rigid abrasives cannot follow. The sponge measures 4.5 inches x 5.5 inches x 0.1875 inches and features abrasive material bonded to one side. It is washable and reusable, making it a practical choice for tradespeople and finishing professionals who need consistent results across multiple uses. The fine grit rating makes it well suited for finish sanding, light stock removal, and surface prep ahead of coating or sealing applications.

This sanding sponge is used in surface preparation tasks across a range of trade and finishing applications. It is commonly used by professionals working on drywall, painted surfaces, trim, cabinetry, and contoured fixtures where flat sanding blocks would bridge over low spots. The flexible softback backing allows the abrasive face to track the workpiece geometry, reducing the risk of flat spots or uneven stock removal. It is sold individually as a single unit and is available in case quantities of 24 units.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

No power tools or mechanical fastening is required for use. Rinse the sponge with clean water to remove accumulated dust and debris between uses, and allow it to dry fully before storing. Work with the abrasive face against the workpiece and apply even hand pressure to avoid gouging contoured surfaces. Follow all applicable surface preparation guidelines and wear appropriate respiratory protection when sanding in enclosed spaces.
