Sanding Sponges SUCK! Not Ekadiamond Sponges.

What happens here

The sponges are designed to be washable, allowing them to be rinsed and reused. For optimal sanding results, users should apply light pressure. The abrasive grains are designed to 'crack and re-sharpen' continuously, providing a consistent cutting tool without the need for excessive force. Applying heavy pressure can generate heat, causing friction and material to stick in the abrasive, which is counterproductive to efficient sanding. An air knife can also be used to blow out any accumulated dust from the sponges.

quick right now the cool thing about sponges just like with Alka silk plus is you can take a air knife and just blow it out really easy if it does load and they're even washable I don't know that anybody would ever want to do that but you can wash them let them dry back out and and keep using them I would say the one thing about this sponge is really cut our sponge cells down right but uh you know that's a good thing because we do want to help the customer out there and this this has been a great Innovation I know that like the washable part of it um we were accustomed to taking and wetting our sponges um to sand Bondo and stuff when we've got to run somewhere we're scraping out the run we're Bond doing it and then sanding it and I think um and that was really to keep it cool um the Sandpaper cool and keep the surface from heating up um I'm not sure if that's necessary with this type of product you know and some of that is probably just um not understanding how to use the abrasive correctly and stuff and because um you know heat is is your big enemy yeah the kid I know with this obviously is being done by hand just in your mind try to try not to put that pressure on I know everybody feels like the harder I stand the quicker I'm getting this job done but these grains are little cutting tools so let them do their work right you know just use light pressure it's going to crack and resharpen and constantly give you a nice cutting tool tool and that'll help keep from the loading because the more friction you build the more it's eating up the more it's going to stick in between the grains but this one is unique in that it
