Indasa Roll Sandpaper

[Len]

We've been experimenting with Indasa sandpaper and find that the rolls work great. These are 2 3/4" X 27 yards and work very well on blocks and boards of almost any length and shape. The larger center hub makes these rolls a lot easier to use than other brands especially when your down to the last few yards. The biggest benefit is the price, these are about half the price of other brands.

Len, they make a dispenser designed for these uniquely styled rolls that's pretty nice as well Len that I recommend you carry.

Funny you should mention that Dennis, I have one on the way to use in our shop and to take pictures for the store. I really like the sandpaper, it has a backing so that it can be removed and stuck to a block or left in place and used with a clip-on board.

That's the only paper I have used for years .

I always found it to be good quality and priced right .

This arrived today and I found it to be much better made than the dispensers from other manufacturers. It can be used from a work bench or hung on the wall and has a good cutting blade.

Just curious how well this stuff holds up to the 3M gold? I love the 3M but its quite pricey.

I'll be comparing them next week and I'll let you know.

[Dennis N. Schmidt]

It lasts 2/3rds as long as the 3M gold and is 1/3 the price. Sounds like a win to me.

One of the my favorite benefits of the Indasa rolls is that it has peel a off carrier on the back and the 3M doesn't. If you tear a piece of sandpaper off the roll you can leave the protective paper in place and put it on your clip on file or peel off the backing and stick it to a block.

We've been using it AND the 3M for about two weeks and I'd say that Dennis is about right, it last about 2/3s as long as the 3M. However, half of the time that we use this type of sandpaper we don't sand until it' worn out so there is really very little difference. The price makes the big difference and we are now in the process of switching our shop over to using more of the Indasa products.

Do they make this paper in a 220ish grit? Ive been looking for paper to buy for my blocks but it really is expensive this stuff looks good.

We've been using this Indasa sandpaper for a couple weeks now and my bodyman says he likes it better than the more expensive brands because it doesn't have the tendency to gouge into the filler like other products. We don't have 220 in stock yet but I'll put it on the next stock order. Right now we have 40, 80 120 and 320 linked below.

What part of the process are you block sanding? In most cases I can finish sanding the filler with 120 then apply my 2K primer and sand it with 320.

i have used indasa for years i like it alot.

[wyzat520]

I always did my base metal work, put on my filler, knocked it down with 40 grit then 80, then a 120, and then I'd apply a finishing filler and sand that with 220 then 320 maybe even 400 then apply my primers. I suppose its not even really necessary to apply finishing filler if your spraying a 2k primer though huh? I cant remember where I learned to do it the way I have been but it stuck. There was a reason behind it I just cant remember. Owell. Ill be ordering 4 rolls of this paper soon since I'm almost out of my cheapo rolls I got at the local jobber.

Wow that is a lot of unnecessary steps.I use 80 for filler,then 120,sometimes up to 180,primer..then 320 and 4-600
