Description
Flex-i-File Ultra Fine 6000 Grit Flex Pad
The Flex-i-File Flex Pad Single Ultra Fine 6000 Grit FF-6000UF is made for the fine finishing stages of scale modelling. Its 6000 grit abrasive is suited to polishing, removing fine blemishes and preparing surfaces before moving on to ultra-fine grits or final coats.
A soft, padded construction and flexible backing allow the pad to follow curves and contours while maintaining controlled contact with the surface. This makes it useful for areas where a rigid sanding tool would be less able to follow the shape of the model. The pad is double-sided and can be used wet or dry.
For Polishing and Fine Surface Refinement
At 6000 grit, this Flex Pad is intended for fine sanding and polishing rather than heavier material removal. It can be used to blend layers, remove fine surface blemishes and smooth areas in preparation for finer abrasives. It is also suitable for polishing seams, refining clear parts and preparing surfaces before final coats.
- Ultra fine 6000 grit abrasive for polishing and pre-gloss finishing
- Flexible backing follows curves, contours and complex shapes
- Soft padded construction helps reduce the risk of over-sanding
- Double-sided design for extended use
- Suitable for plastic, resin, metal and painted surfaces
- Can be used wet or dry
- Useful for blending layers and removing fine blemishes
Flexible Sanding for Detailed Model Surfaces
The flexible and padded format is particularly useful when working across shaped surfaces. Rather than holding the abrasive in a fixed, rigid form, the Flex Pad conforms to the part’s contours while providing consistent abrasion. This allows finer finishing work to be carried out around curves without losing the practical control of a hand-held sanding pad.
It can be used on plastic, resin, metal and painted surfaces, making it suitable for several stages and materials encountered during scale model preparation and finishing. Wet or dry use also gives you a choice of working method to suit the task.
For jobs that have already progressed beyond coarse sanding, the 6000 grit Flex Pad provides a useful step towards a smoother surface. It fits naturally among other modelling accessories used to refine seams, polish surfaces, work on clear parts, and prepare a model for its final finishing stages.
