The Wetordry Advantage

3M Wetordry products are backed with a waterproof backing that can be used for both wet and dry applications. Unlike cloth, the backing is lighter in weight and has a smooth texture, making it ideal for lighter applications such as finishing and paint prep. However, these types of applications often produce a significant amount of dust, which can clog the abrasive points and create an inferior work environment. To minimize these effects, sanding with water can be used to rinse away dust from both the workpiece and the abrasive surface.

When used with water, the 3M Wetordry Cloth Sheet 281W allows users to rinse areas of the workpiece during finishing. This prevents dust and debris from clogging the abrasive, while still providing a consistent and fast cut. The 3M Wetordry Cloth Sheet 281W is particularly effective on e-coat primer and wood, but can also be used dry for finishing metal and gel coats. In the marine industry, it is commonly used for sanding old finishes, fine feather edging, and surface work. The product is available in various grades (P500, P600, P800, and P1000) to ensure users can find the abrasive that best suits their needs.

The Benefits of Aluminum Oxide

The key to a sharp, consistent, and long-lasting abrasive is the mineral used. The 3M Wetordry Cloth Sheet 281W features an aluminum oxide mineral, which is highly favored by industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral creates a tough and durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, unlike traditional natural minerals that tend to dull more quickly. Its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength make it widely used in sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.

The Benefits of a Cloth-Backing

3M Wetordry products are equipped with a proprietary waterproof cloth backing, which allows for both wet and dry applications. Cloth-backed sheets are known for their durability and flexibility, making them an excellent choice when working with metal. The cloth backing provides durability for both hand and machine sanding, adding to the versatility of this product across various applications.
