Understanding Foam Abrasive Densities

in between coats of of sealer and the thing about foam is it's very nice in that there's three densities so if you're doing all flat work the little thinner five millimeter foam is perfect for that because you're not really needing any type of flexibility you're not trying to get into a profile now for profile sanding the echo silk plus foam comes into a in a half inch which is a is a CL is an open cell foam so it's really really flexible and then what's really lately what we're seeing I'm sure you're seeing a lot of is Shaker doors have become the thing so you've got you've got that that Center panel that's offset and down and that's where we come out with the 10 millimeter so it looks just like this as if it's a closed cell foam so it's nice and firm and that's perfect to drop in and you'll go in and sand uh that that insert panel and you're able to bump the rest of the cabinet with the foam instead of the sander and this being half inch is just for profiles it's perfect you can see it just just molds right into any kind of profile yeah I mean we use the half inch foam for you know all your routed edges rounded edges and stuff it conforms to all those profiles and you literally on a cabinet door you don't have to like hand sand anything a three by four sander you know um with you know a half inch foam sometimes where this is a five millimeter foam you guys have a 10 millimeter foam so there's three different sizes this one is the close density um the 10 millimeter is closed density but that's open cell right there so I mean it's the three of them is going to do any thing you need to do but then you could also use filmtech also so can you just talk a little bit about the abrasive so what type of abrasive is on the top of that what type of I guess we'll we'll make it simple sand is it
