How We Improved Our Dual Angle Sanding Blocks

We all know the old saying: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” And, as most drywall finishers would tell you, there was nothing broke about Trim-Tex’s popular sanding blocks. But we don’t like to settle for “good enough” — Trim-Tex is committed to constant improvement, constant innovation, and we saw an opportunity to make the 885 sanding sponges our customers love even better.

Here’s how we improved our Dual Angle Sanding Blocks to make them better than ever, with some help from our friends at Refresh Home Improvements. And be sure to request a free sample block while you’re here — they won’t last much longer!

So, what’s different about your new sanding blocks?

We have changed many aspects of the 885 Dual Angle Dual Grit Sanding Block. It now lasts longer and requires less effort to use — so you can sand smarter, not harder! However, many other aspects about the block, including its grit, size and shape, all remain the same.

Here’s a more technical answer: on the medium-grit side of the block, we’re now using a new silicon carbide for faster cutting with less loading. Then, we’ve also included a brown fused aluminum oxide, used for finer sanding and a better bonding method for the abrasive.
