Finish small details using the Tamiya 87161 polishing sponge sheet

The Tamiya 87161 Polishing Sponge Sheet is built for hobbyists who need controllable, even abrasion. The sand layer over a soft sponge base is useful for evening out seams on plastic kits and refining small wooden or metal components. The flexible construction helps maintain contact on rounded shapes and recessed areas.

Simple to personalise and suitable for wet work

This sheet can be trimmed with a hobby knife to suit bespoke tasks or tight spots. It is also compatible with wet sanding techniques, which can lower dust and extend the abrasive life for finer finishing work.

Yes, the abrasive layer is effective for light deburring and smoothing on metal fittings, but use gentle strokes and check progress frequently to avoid over sanding.
The sponge backing reduces hard edges so delicate details are less likely to be gouged. Take care with corners and trim the sheet into small pieces for tight detail work.
Keep light, consistent pressure and move across the surface in overlapping passes. For curved panels, let the sponge conform rather than forcing a flat angle.
