Raimo and others,

I endorse your comments Raimo but just to clarify, I have only used  
Abranet for the sanding of the primer filler for which I have found it  
excellent.  Sanding in temperatures around 40C with a mask on is not  
very pleasant so the dust free sanding with Abranet is a God send.  
Unlike sanding discs with holes in them for the same purpose, Abranet  
is totally porous and does not still clog up in places.

As good as Abranet is for sanding the primer filler, I would not use  
it however for sanding the wings (Classic) or other large surfaces  
with simple curves because the Abranet (at least what I have used) is  
far too small to obtain a wave free surface.

Like all good products however, it is fairly expensive.

Cheers
Kingsley
