Style-Line’s Soft Sanders A-04-24 is engineered for collision repair and refinishing settings where curves and complex surfaces need careful sanding. With the “Amoeba” profile and a full 24-inch length, this sander helps produce even, smooth surfaces on contoured panels with minimal fatigue.
Q: What makes the “Amoeba” shape useful compared with straight sanding blocks?
A: The Amoeba profile has curves and bull noses that allow you to follow body panel contours, edges, and radii more precisely. It helps maintain consistent pressure over curved surfaces, reducing the risk of sanding marks or flattening curves.
Q: Can this block be used with wet sanding?
A: Yes. The Medium density foam is suitable for both dry and wet sanding. Wet sanding helps reduce dust, improve finish, and extend sandpaper life when used properly.
Q: What size or grit of sandpaper works with the SL0424?
A: Use adhesive-backed (Super-Flex) sanding sheets sized to fit a 24-inch block. Typical grits range from 180 to 400 for body refinishing, depending on stage—coarse for shaping or feathering, finer for final finishing.
