Achieve a Flawless, Uniform Finish

The primary benefit of the 3M Stikit Soft Hand Block is its ability to distribute sanding pressure evenly across the entire abrasive surface. Unlike sanding by hand, which can create finger marks, unevenness, and low spots, this block provides a consistent, flat backing. This ensures a perfectly level finish when working on flat areas like decks or cabin tops and a smooth, flowing finish when following the complex curves of a hull or gunwale. The result is a superior surface preparation that guarantees a better final appearance for paint, gelcoat, or varnish.

Unparalleled Versatility for Marine Applications

This hand block is a master of adaptability. Its soft, flexible construction allows it to conform effortlessly to the unique contours and curves found all over a boat. From the gentle sweep of the bow to the tight corners of the transom, the block bends and flexes to maintain optimal contact, ensuring you never miss a spot. At the same time, it is firm enough to provide the support needed for leveling marine fillers, putties, and fairing compounds, making it an indispensable tool for both cosmetic touch-ups and significant structural repairs.

Ergonomic Design for Enhanced Comfort and Control

Long sanding jobs can lead to significant hand fatigue. 3M has engineered this block with an ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in your palm, providing a secure grip and reducing strain during extended use. This superior control allows for more precise sanding, giving you the confidence to feather-edge paint repairs or delicately scuff surfaces without causing damage. The lightweight yet durable design means you can work longer and more effectively, turning a tedious chore into a satisfying step in your maintenance routine.

Efficient and Fast Abrasive Changes

Time is valuable, especially when you´re trying to get your boat back on the water. The "easy release hook face" on this block works seamlessly with hook-and-loop style abrasive sheets and rolls. This system allows for lightning-fast changes between different grits or for replacing worn-out abrasives. The secure attachment ensures the sandpaper won´t slip or bunch up during use, while the easy-release feature means no time is wasted struggling with sticky adhesives.

Invest in the 3M Stikit Soft Hand Block and take the guesswork out of hand sanding. It is the key to achieving the smooth, professional-grade results that your boat deserves, making it an essential component for all your maintenance, repair, and refinishing projects
