Do you know how to use a sanding sponge (or a sandpaper sponge)?
I’ve had quite a few projects around the house that required the use of a sanding sponge
I like using one for general purpose sanding on woodwork, trim, and drywall.
The (manual) alternative to a sandpaper sponge is to use a sanding block
I’ve got 3 different types of those, as well — and I use them for different purposes. But 9 times out of 10, I’m going to go with my sanding sponge for smaller jobs and trim work around the house.
I’ve got 2 different types of wall sanders:
- Hand grip sander
(pictured below, blue handle)
- Pole sander
(pictured below, blue handle)
Both of those wall sanders give you the versatility of attaching sandpaper with whatever grit you desire.
Sanding sponges come in a variety of grits as well, but they’re much better for smaller tasks and trim work than wall sanders are!
A sandpaper sponge is one heck of a handy (yet simple!) tool to have in your weekend warrior arsenal.
I’m going to answer some of the questions you probably have about how to use a sanding sponge or sandpaper sponge…
