Blue Dolphin Hand Sanding Kit

The Hand Sanding Tool is the classic sanding block, done properly — a high-density foam body with enough firmness to keep the paper flat and enough flex to follow a wall that is not quite flat. It is the tool for flatting off filler, jointing compound and spackle on drywall, and for de-nibbing between coats.

Why the foam matters. A rigid block bridges hollows and cuts the high spots too hard, which is how you end up with visible flat patches around a repair. A block that is too soft rounds the edges of the fill and leaves it proud. The high-density foam sits between the two, so the repair comes back level with the wall rather than standing out under the first coat.

Changing the paper. The face is hook and loop, so sheets pull off and press on without clips or folding. Refill packs are sold separately and contain 10 sheets.

Hand or palm? They are different tools for different work, not two sizes of the same thing:

• Hand — the flat block shape, for interior finishing. The matching refills run finer, 80 to 150 grit, for flatting filler and preparing for paint.
• Palm — shaped to sit in the hand for pressure and control on trim, mouldings, sills, stairs and decking. Its refills run coarser, 60 to 120 grit, for heavier removal.

If you are sanding filled walls and ceilings before painting, this is the one.
