This isn't sand paper; instead, it's a sand blocking pad onto which you can stick or wrap whatever grit you want.
Cut a piece of regular sandpaper in half and wrap it around this item a few times. However, I discovered that if you clean the sponge frequently, a wet sponge will work just as well.
Essentially the same product, with the exception that the 05530's have sanding pads designed specifically for them; if you don't do this work frequently, you won't notice a significant difference.
I take a 9x11 piece of Sand paper, cut into three pieces, and wrap it around the block, keeping the seam on top of course.

This was purchased to aid in the sanding of curved shapes on a truck I'm currently working on. For that purpose, it is ideal. The only minor complaint I have is that when using PSA backed paper, it tends to pull some of the sponge pad off when removing the sanding paper. As long as I'm working with non-toxic materials, I'm good to go. It works fine with adhesive sandpaper, but it would be nice if it could also be used with adhesive paper.
This sponge is far too small to be of any use to me. These sponges get lost in my grip even though I wear xl gloves; They should be about an inch longer on each side and a half-inch longer in the middle. thicker by an inch I purchased a simple kitchen sponge, which worked much better for my car-cleaning needs. If you have bigger paws, you might want to reconsider using these sanding sponges. My copy was returned to me.
I used it between my hand and the sandpaper when it was wet, and it (still) works great! The sponge is neither too thick nor too thin to detect flaws in the piece. It still feels brand new after three days of sitting in warm water for ten hours. This is a great way for any sander, regardless of skill level, to soften and even out the pressure. The only complaint I have is that it isn't quite big enough.
I'm not sure what to say. It's a rubber sanding sponge that's both flexible and rigid. It's flexible enough to follow many of the contours of modern automobiles while also being rigid enough to evenly distribute hand pressure across the sanding paper. It is not a water-absorbent material. It clung to the soaked wet-suit's wet backing. Dry the silicone carbide sanding paper thoroughly enough to prevent it from slipping off the block. I'll probably buy more of these products in various [larger] sizes for future automotive and furniture finishing projects.
Junk. It appears they rubbed a full knife across it because it is too soft. It's not worth the trouble to return it, so I'm throwing it away. Purchases should be avoided.
It performs admirably. To fit into tight spaces, I cut it in half. This block has the consistency of a sponge. It lasts a long time. It's soft enough to get into the nooks and crannies of an old pleasure boat, so I use it to wet sand enamel on my boat project.
Good grip is provided by the springy texture. My only concern is whether or not this is preferable to something else I have on hand. To put it another way, you don't have to do this to get the results you want. However, now that I have it, I will use it whenever I have the opportunity.
It does not hold the backing paper when wet sanding; it slips and becomes crushed after a while. br>I bought it twice and will continue to buy it until I find a better product.
