Product details
Mesh sheet for an abrasive sanding float, fixed with the wing bolts on the float body.
180 grit refines rather than cuts. It removes the scratch pattern left by the coarser meshes and brings the surface close to its final texture. On a wall that will take a matt emulsion, this is often as far as you need to go.
Mesh beats paper on plaster for one practical reason: the dust falls through the holes instead of filling them. Paper clogs within a few strokes on gypsum and then burnishes the surface rather than cutting it, which is why a sheet that looks fine stops working after a minute.
Work the float in overlapping circles with light pressure and let the grit do the work. Leaning on it digs hollows that only show up once the paint is on.
We stock 100, 150, 180 and 220 grit. The grit progression guide explains the order to use them in, and which steps you can skip on a good skim.
