Pre-cut Sandpaper - refill packs: coarse, fine, polishing

Introducing our finger-friendly pre-cut abrasive paper, specially designed to complement our Kintsugi kits. Each pack contains 10 sheets, meticulously graded for sanding and finishing tasks. Manufactured by a renowned Japanese company, these sheets mirror the quality of our Kintsugi offerings.

When employing these sheets, you have the option to enhance your technique using our washi-tape or curved masking tape range. These can be strategically applied along the repaired contours, creating a protective barrier for the ceramic finish or glaze. During sanding, a few drops of water suffice. This wet sanding approach mitigates surface scratches and contributes to an impeccably smooth, uniform finish—particularly effective following dry sanding, if chosen. For dry sanding, we suggest utilizing whetstones or abrasive files due to reduced waste material. You'll find these exceptional Japanese products available in our alternate listings.
