Flex-i-File Flex Pad Single Ultra Fine 1500 Grit FF-1500UF
The Flex-i-File Flex Pad Single FF-1500UF is a 1500 grit ultra fine sanding pad designed for controlled finishing work in scale modelling and other hobby applications. Its flexible, padded construction allows the abrasive surface to follow curved and contoured areas, making it useful where a rigid sanding tool would be less suitable.
With its 1500 grit abrasive, this Flex Pad is intended for intermediate to fine finishing. It can be used for blending seams, smoothing surfaces and preparing a surface for higher-grit polishing stages. The padded construction provides gentle, controlled abrasion, helping the user work progressively rather than removing material too aggressively.
Flexible, double-sided sanding pad
The Flex Pad has abrasive surfaces on both sides, extending the usable sanding area of the pad. Its flexibility is particularly useful when working around contours and curved surfaces, where maintaining even contact can be difficult with a conventional rigid file.
The 1500 grit surface can be used for smoothing putty, primer and painted surfaces before subsequent finishing or final coats. It is also suitable for wet or dry sanding, allowing it to fit into different modelling and finishing processes.

For scale modelling and hobby finishing
Fine surface preparation often benefits from working through progressively finer abrasives. The 1500 grit Flex Pad provides an ultra fine stage for areas that need controlled, even abrasion, including seams and surfaces that have already undergone earlier sanding work. Its padded format also helps it conform to the shape of the workpiece rather than remaining completely flat.
FF-1500UF forms part of the Flex-i-File range available from Scale Model Shop. More tools for surface preparation can be found in our Sanding range and wider Accessories section.
