Select the appropriate Stikit backup pad: Choose a pad that matches the size and shape of the area you'll be sanding.
Cut the desired sheet size: Measure and cut the required length of abrasive sheet from the roll.
Attach the sheet to the backup pad: Peel off the backing paper from the abrasive sheet to expose the adhesive. Press the sheet firmly onto the hook-and-loop surface of the Stikit backup pad. Ensure full contact for secure attachment.
Begin sanding: Apply light to moderate pressure and move the sanding pad in a consistent motion across the surface. Avoid excessive pressure, which can cause premature wear or damage to the workpiece.
