Drifterdon Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I've seen a couple YouTube kit reviews where the builder is using a Tamiya Sanding Sponge. Has anyone used these and are they worth the price? How durable are they for reuse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Napalmakita Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I bought a pack after seeing them on YouTube as well. I got the 400-1500 n added the 2000 n 3000. They are great...you can cut them to size, they get into creases n conform to curves nicely and leave minimal sanding scratches. They are typical Tamiya quality and have added to the ease n quality of my builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I use them for getting down air intakes and such like. Very good, every bit as good as Flory sanders but on a sponge so that follow the form you are sanding. They last quite a while in my experience. not ever lasting but long enough for the money. Tamiya sponge and Flory sanders are the only ones you'll need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Get the Infini sanding sponges when they're back in stock (or from another source). They're a lot better than Tamiya's and a lot less expensive. I literally threw my Tamiya one's away after using the Infini sponges. https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/infisp0000g.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see other sellers advertise them, but as a set of sanding sticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have both and I have all of them. They're hands down the best sanding sticks/sponges I've ever used. https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/infiss0000g.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
