This produces a cushioned, three-dimensional material that is pliable, flexible and very long-lasting, making them excellent upcycling or renovation jobs, especially where old coatings are tough to remove.

So how do you use them? | |
On an angle grinderIf you’ve never used a non-woven disc before, it can be daunting. They feel hard and scratchy, but don’t be fooled, these won’t gouge the surface. Using only the weight and pressure of the machine, it’s the disc that does all the work. Quickly and easily removing surface coatings with minimum effort. For larger surface areas we recommend to use the 115mm or 125mm discs on an angle grinder. They can strip an area 20cm2 in less than 30 seconds so you’ll be left with a ready-to-paint surface and a top quality finish in minutes. On a drill True to non-woven’s reputation of being flexible, the smaller discs for use with a drill can be used on all three sides which makes them ideal for getting into small spaces, apertures, curves and intricate areas like garden gates and furniture. All discs have a 6mm hexagonal shaft, which makes for a more secure fit in the drill chuck and fewer vibrations are generated for a far more comfortable experience for the operator. Or by hand Choose the hand pads if you’re either removing surface coatings and light rust, or hand finishing metal or wood surface. The hand pads are washable, water resistant and highly tear resistance which make them really durable. You can use these pads as a replacement or in addition to steel wool, wire brushes or other coated abrasives.
