Customer Reviews for DIABLO 12 in. x 18 in. 36-Grit Sanding Sheet with StickFast Backing

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

I used this on a floor sander rental. I started off with 120 grit so as to not take too much off. well it barely scratched the Varathane coating. I then went to 80 then 60. 60 worked well but after doing a 6ft x 6ft radius the sand paper lost it's bite. It still sanded but took much more effort to get the same results.

The pad where only good for 5 min a session and the clerk failed to tail me I needed the pad for the buffer for sand paper to stick so I wasted one right off the back. And the rest lasted me only 5 min a piece and it didn’t do the job I was told it would do

I was very pleased with this product it took the floor finish off in no time flat.

Pad performed well

I glued this to a board to have a large stationary sanding area for doing longer edges and to get rid of cutting marks from a box top and body after the top is cut off. Works great for that. It is adhesive backed but I used contact cement on the paper and the board and it is holding great. I left the board longer than the paper on one side so it could be clamped down.

The 36 grit made a fast first cut, however the adhesive was not strong enough to secure the paper to the pad of the orbital floor sander for more than one pass. Lost 2 sanding sheets in the first 5 minutes Solution was t use a high tack spray adhesive to attach the sanding sheet permanently.

Works well for sanding edges of hardwood floors.

This product doesn't work with a floor orbital sander as recommended by the Home Depot Rental Department. The Tool Rental Department recommended this product. It doesn't work. Sanding dust gets under the adhesive pad and clogs the adhesive. The sand paper stayed on the sander for about 10-12 seconds. If this product were to come with a hook and loop pad (like Velcro) then it would probably work much better. I ended up cutting up the sandpaper and used it on my hand orbital sander (that has clips to hold the paper in place while sanding.

Outstanding product, worked as expected with longer useful life than expected when used on red oak.

I bought the Diablo sanding sheets (60, 80 and 120 grit) to use on an orbital floor sander (Home Depot Rental) as recommended by the rental department. The backing is adhesive, whereas, the floor sander had what appeared to be hooks. It took less than 30 seconds for the sandpaper to become ineffective at sanding. I ended up cutting up the sanding sheets and used them on my hand orbital sander. Buyer beware. The product wasn't bad just the recommended application.

The sandpaper failed to stick after a few minutes and I had to use 3M spray glue (recommended by the rental personnel) Also I did not give the paper a 5 star rating it is coming up that way. 3 at the most.

It was a total disappointment and did not work for my taskI returned the sanderandunusedmateris and advised the young man it did not work but he charged me anyway.

If you don’t want to use a belt sander and would rather sand more cautiously, but still at a good speed-use the 20 GRIT to start. It took off the layers of varnish and old stain very well!!! Reminder to stick the sandpaper to the red filler and then to the sander-it works so much better!

This style of sander was far less effective than expected. While it was easy to use it took much longer than it should have and only remover 40% of the paint on our porch floor.

I was taking down some high spots on the deck before staining. These worked pretty well for my needs. In hind sight, I would have gone with the next coarser grit paper, but that was my problem, not the products problem.

No gud

Made quick work of my project, but be warned! Use these on a relatively flat surface. If the surface it uneven this will most likely not give you the results you are looking for.

True grit

Worked very well refinishing our front porch.

Great sand paper
