Designed for Narrow Sanding Sticks

These replacement strips are made for Zona's 1/2-inch-wide sanding stick.

The narrow holder provides a firm backing surface and convenient hand control for detailed sanding.

When installed correctly, the abrasive can be guided along small surfaces and edges with greater control than loose sandpaper.

The compact width is particularly useful for miniature components and areas where larger sanding blocks may be inconvenient.

The sanding stick holder is sold separately.

Choosing the Right Grit

Selecting the correct abrasive grit helps you achieve the desired surface finish.

Lower grit numbers indicate coarser abrasives that generally remove material more quickly.

Higher grit numbers indicate finer abrasives that remove less material per stroke and produce a smoother surface.

For rough shaping, 80 grit may be appropriate.

For general sanding, 120 grit provides a useful starting point.

For intermediate smoothing, 180 grit can help refine the surface.

For finer finishing, 220 or 400 grit may be suitable, depending on the material.

Not every project requires all five grits. Choose the starting abrasive according to the condition of the workpiece and the desired result.

80-Grit Coarse Sanding

The 80-grit option is intended for initial shaping and more aggressive material removal.

It can help smooth rough edges or remove surface irregularities from suitable materials.

Because coarse abrasives can leave visible scratches, additional sanding with finer grits may be necessary.

Use controlled pressure and inspect the workpiece frequently to avoid removing excessive material.

120-Grit General Sanding

The 120-grit option provides a practical balance between material removal and surface refinement.

It is useful for smoothing small wooden parts, refining edges, and preparing surfaces for additional finishing.

This grit is a convenient choice for many general hobby and woodworking tasks.

For smoother results, progress to finer abrasives as needed.

180-Grit Intermediate Finishing

The 180-grit option is useful for refining surfaces after coarse sanding.

It helps reduce scratches left by lower grits and prepares the workpiece for finer finishing.

This makes it practical for model building, woodworking, and detailed craft projects.

Use light, consistent strokes for controlled results.

220-Grit Fine Sanding

The 220-grit option provides a finer abrasive for smoothing small components.

It is particularly useful for suitable woodworking applications and surface preparation before finishing.

When sanding wood, working with the grain generally helps reduce visible scratches.

Use gentle pressure on thin or delicate parts.

400-Grit Ultra-Fine Finishing

The 400-grit option is the finest abrasive available in this range.

It is useful for refining suitable surfaces after earlier sanding stages.

The final finish depends on the workpiece material, sanding technique, and any additional polishing operations.

For delicate materials, test the abrasive on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.

Assorted Grit Pack

The assortment pack provides a convenient selection of all five available grits.

Each assortment includes:

• 2 strips of 80 grit

• 2 strips of 120 grit

• 2 strips of 180 grit

• 2 strips of 220 grit

• 2 strips of 400 grit

This allows you to progress through different sanding stages without purchasing a full 10-pack of each individual grit.

The assortment contains 10 strips total.

Cloth-Backed Abrasive Construction

These replacement sanding strips feature a cloth backing.

The flexible backing allows the abrasive to be installed in the compatible sanding stick holder.

When secured in the holder, the abrasive is supported during controlled hand sanding.

This makes the strips convenient for detailed applications involving small surfaces and edges.

Replace the abrasive when it becomes worn, damaged, or clogged.

Precision Woodworking Applications

These replacement strips are useful for small woodworking projects.

They can help shape miniature wooden parts, refine edges, and smooth surfaces before finishing.

The range of available grits allows you to select an abrasive suited to the condition of the wood.

For best results, progress through appropriate grits rather than attempting to remove deep coarse scratches with an extremely fine abrasive.

Model Building and Hobby Applications

Model builders often work with small components that require careful sanding.

The narrow 1/2-inch width is convenient for working on miniature parts and detailed assemblies.

The compatible sanding stick provides controlled hand sanding for suitable model materials.

Use light pressure and inspect the workpiece frequently to preserve delicate shapes and details.

Metal and Plastic Finishing

Finer grit options may be useful for appropriate metal and plastic finishing applications.

Choose the abrasive according to the material and desired surface condition.

Use gentle pressure when working with soft plastics or delicate surfaces.

Test the abrasive on an inconspicuous area when working with unfamiliar materials.

Proper Use and Care

1. Select the appropriate grit for your project.

2. Install the replacement strip in the compatible Zona 1/2-inch sanding stick.

3. Make sure the abrasive is positioned securely before use.

4. Apply light, even pressure while sanding.

5. Use controlled strokes to maintain the desired shape.

6. Inspect the workpiece frequently.

7. Progress to finer grits when a smoother finish is required.

8. Replace the abrasive when it becomes worn or clogged.

9. Remove sanding dust from the holder after use.
