The Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads is renowned for its durability and longevity. The aluminum oxide mineral abrasive is evenly distributed through the pad, delivering a high-quality, consistent finish with minimal loading. The strength of the fibers and the resin system that bonds them allows for prolonged use and resistance to tearing, shredding, and splintering. Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads feature nylon fibers that resist tearing and loading and will never rust, providing a long, useful life.
Moreover, the general purpose hand pad is designed to be flexible without compromising on its abrasive qualities. This allows users to reach difficult spots without altering the texture or effectiveness of the pad. Its compatibility with water or solvents makes it a versatile choice for various surface preparation tasks.
Effective surface preparation is key to any refinishing job or finishing application, and Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads are the perfect tool for the task. Start by choosing the appropriate level of abrasiveness for your project. For general applications, the medium-grade 07447 Hand Pad is most suitable.
Begin with a clean surface, and use the pad to scrub in a consistent pattern, applying even pressure throughout. The open-web design of the pad traps debris, making it easy to rinse and continue work without clogging. Repeat the process until the surface is free of imperfections and ready for the next step in your finishing application.
When compared to other abrasive products, Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads offer a unique combination of performance and gentleness. Unlike steel wool or sandpaper, these pads are less likely to scratch or gouge surfaces, making them suitable for both delicate and robust applications. While the performance of this Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads is comparable to steel wool grade 1, unlike steel wool, Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads won't rust after use, shred, or create fine metal splinters.
This versatile product is effective in wet or dry environments and can be rinsed and used over and over again. The sheet may be cut and shaped for use by hand, on a sanding block or with other tools. Additionally, the ability to use them with or without water or solvents adds to their versatility and sets them apart from many other abrasive solutions on the market. Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads are a superior alternative to steel wool, wire brushes, sandpaper and other non-woven products for cleaning tasks or finishing applications.
To get the most out of your Scotch-Brite™ 7447 Hand Pads, it's important to use them correctly. Always start with lighter pressure and increase as needed based on the material you're working with. This will help prevent over-scrubbing and maintain the integrity of the surface.
Keep your pads clean and free of debris by rinsing regularly. If you're working with sharp edges, in addition to wearing cut-resistant gloves, fold the hand pad to protect your hands and maintain control. With proper care, these pads can be used multiple times, offering excellent value and performance for your general purpose, surface preparation needs.
