I recently purchased a Black and Decker "Mouse" sander. Very useful tool. However, in the pack of shaped sanding sheets supplied, are two sheets that look as if they are made like a plastic pot scourer. One is white the other a dark red/brown colour. I assume that they are for some fine finishing; but there is nothing in the obstructions. Is that what they are, and how are they used please.

Probably a copy of Scotchbrite used for getting a brushed or satin finish on things like stainless steel.

PS don't let the RSPCA catch you sanding those mice.

Thanks Jason, I expect that you are right. It would be nice if the instructions didn't just leave you to guess! I will try a brief test to see what happens, if no-one has any more information.

I would use the white one as fine wire wool, the red one as a coarser abrasive. Bosch used to describe them as for light sanding, texturing, of wood, plastics and metal. Red probably OK for de-rusting.

As a woodturner we use something that is called Nyweb which is an abrasive each colour donates a different grit they are not limited to use on wood only.

This is how I buy mine HERE
