Remove Defects

The molding process of a plastic or composite part can leave behind defects such as flash, fiber risings or parting lines. Choose Mirka Abranet, Abralon or Goldflex Soft for machine sanding or hand sanding the unpainted surface smooth. After the bare finish has been perfected, the part is ready for layers of paint.

For machine sanding, Mirka DEROS or ROS power tools give you an ergonomic working process that is dust free, for a cleaner working environment and reduced need for re-works.
