Product Information

Designed for sanding surfaces prior to the application of wood finishes such as waxes, varnishes and lacquers, Woodleys Flexible Sanding Pads are excellent for preparing otherwise difficult to reach surfaces, such as turned or shaped chair and table legs plus furniture trim and mouldings. Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Denibbing System is a revolutionary way to remove dirt defects in auto body paint surfaces. With its lightweight, cordless, handheld 3M™ Perfect-It™ Denibbing Tool and abrasive stems, the system uses micro-sanding to eliminate the time and expense of sanding and polishing entire freshly-painted panels even for small repairs. Instead, you precisely remove individual dirt nibs and re-polish the surface. Each repair area is no larger than a U.S. quarter. This small area repair technique also significantly reduces water mess and compound slush, saving cleanup time.

Denibbing pads may be used wet or dry for cleaning/removal of impurities, oxides and dirt. The three dimensional structure of the pads is easy to use on contoured surfaces and profiles, as well as areas which are difficult to reach. Mirka Mirlon pads are recomended when decorating for the removal of raised grain on timber after an initial coating has been applied, and recommended for denibbing between subsequent coats. As mentioned above, it is vital that worktops are treated straight away – that is why our pre-installation oiling service is a mandatory requirement if purchasing another option from our bespoke cutting service (freshly cut timber can be susceptible to movement and therefore immediate oil treatment is required if wood is to be cut or altered in any way). Our pre-oiling service will ensure that your worktop reaches you in superb condition.Once the worktop is completely clean, you can begin to apply Rustin’s Danish oil, or our own Worktop Express Danish Oil for Worktops. Add a layer to the top and edges paying special attention to the end grain (this tends to be more absorbent than the rest of the worktop and may require extra coats).

With a specially woven structure that tends to resist clogging from wood particles, these pads can be used dry or wet for the removal of surface impurities from wood and furniture including dirt and oxides. After that, it is easy! If you oil regularly for the first six weeks, the worktop will build up oil protection sufficient so that you may leave this and only re-oil once every three months. here, and I’m going to use it to show you how to denib oils. Wood is a naturally porous material, and when you put oils on wood, they soak in, giving excellent liquid repellency and protection while still maintaining a natural look and feel.

Mirka Mirlon denibbing pads are especially designed for sanding surfaces prior to the application of finishing coats, primers or lacquers. The pads work excellently when sanding wood, plastic, metal components as well as painted surfaces where their woven structure resists clogging.Our worktops are supplied pre-sanded to a 150 grit finish, but sometimes it is worth going over the worktop yourself for an extra smooth surface.
