Product Information

A full list of products featured and used in this video is available in the description on YouTube, also if you have any questions or would like some advice feel free to here, and I’m going to use it to show you how to denib oils. Wood is a naturally porous material, and when you put oils on wood, they soak in, giving excellent liquid repellency and protection while still maintaining a natural look and feel. When you apply an oil on you want to remove all excess as soon as you can, and then you want to help open some of those pores again by denibbing, use a Thank you so does that mean with the product I am looking at using I would need to use a fine grade wool?

Hi, I’m Ben O’Reilly From Wood Finishes Direct and Welcome to the Product Test and How to Video Guide, in this video I am going to be discussing Use 3M Paint Preparation Pads to prepare panels before painting and keying alloy wheels and bumpers ready for refinishing. Weve designed our pad to answer the call for a specialist pad for denibbing and alloy wheel and bumper keying. Mirka Mirlon Denibbing pads are a cost effective, and economical alternative to steel wool (they are sometimes referred to as synthetic steel wool), abrasive cloth and abrasive papers. The fine grits are excellent for applying wax. With its cordless micro-sanding and micro-polishing tools, advanced abrasives, pads, cloths and liquid polishes, our Perfect-It™ Denibbing System brings small area repair to your auto body operation. It's another way that 3M uses solid science to change the way collision repair technicians prepare painted surfaces, and to revolutionize paint shop productivity. As I haven't done this before I presume that you just run a cloth or pad of sorts over the finish gently to give the silky smooth finish?

After the surface is completely covered rub down with a clean lint free cloth to make sure oil coverage is even. Denibbing is a really important step in applying any finish, it helps either the adhesion or absorption of further coats and can make a real difference to your projects. Denibbing Video Transcript

However I also used these for a little table - and even though I'm careful the edges and corners soon shred them up. It can be done with any oil finish and will just improve and smooth the surface for a slight more superior finish, if you don’t do it is not the end of the world, but it is something that we recommend. Complete system for small area repair: consistent, pinpoint sanding of dirt nibs saves time and money Denibbing pads may be used wet or dry for cleaning/removal of impurities, oxides and dirt. The three dimensional structure of the pads is easy to use on contoured surfaces and profiles, as well as areas which are difficult to reach. Mirka Mirlon pads are recomended when decorating for the removal of raised grain on timber after an initial coating has been applied, and recommended for denibbing between subsequent coats.The cordless Perfect-it™ Denibbing Tool uses Trizact™ abrasive stems for consistent, pinpoint sanding of dirt nibs and very small repair areas. Unlike conventional abrasives, 3M™ Trizact™ products start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality. Trizact™ products last longer than conventional abrasives and provide precise finish control such that operators can reduce grade sequences, requiring fewer process steps and fewer abrasive products. Three-dimensional structures uniformly distributed over the entire abrasive surface enable consistent performance without product-to-product variation. here. When you do apply a surface finish, such as a varnish or a paint it’s only natural you are going to get imperfections such as brush strokes and bumps or areas that have slightly more finish than others Worry not, it is not the end of the world, if you have not denibbed. The purpose of doing this between coats is to smooth down any raised grain or imperfections that have occurred from the first application. There may be some benefit to adhesion, when you denib, but it will be limited and the second coat should be fine. Get our specialist 3M Paint Preparation Pads to prepare panels before painting and keying alloy wheels and bumpers ready for refinishing. Weve designed our pad for specialist denibbing and alloy wheel and bumper keying. Mirka Mirlon denibbing pads are especially designed for sanding surfaces prior to the application of finishing coats, primers or lacquers. The pads work excellently when sanding wood, plastic, metal components as well as painted surfaces where their woven structure resists clogging.

Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Denibbing System is a revolutionary way to remove dirt defects in auto body paint surfaces. With its lightweight, cordless, handheld 3M™ Perfect-It™ Denibbing Tool and abrasive stems, the system uses micro-sanding to eliminate the time and expense of sanding and polishing entire freshly-painted panels even for small repairs. Instead, you precisely remove individual dirt nibs and re-polish the surface. Each repair area is no larger than a U.S. quarter. This small area repair technique also significantly reduces water mess and compound slush, saving cleanup time. As mentioned above, it is vital that worktops are treated straight away – that is why our pre-installation oiling service is a mandatory requirement if purchasing another option from our bespoke cutting service (freshly cut timber can be susceptible to movement and therefore immediate oil treatment is required if wood is to be cut or altered in any way). Our pre-oiling service will ensure that your worktop reaches you in superb condition. Designed for sanding surfaces prior to the application of wood finishes such as waxes, varnishes and lacquers, Woodleys Flexible Sanding Pads are excellent for preparing otherwise difficult to reach surfaces, such as turned or shaped chair and table legs plus furniture trim and mouldings. Operators will note that the pad liquid are both purple in color Denibbing Paintwork Cleanly and Efficiently Manns Finishing Pads to do this.

Also as the instructions on the tin say to sand the bare wood to 120 grit so I would need to use the same grit between coats and then like 600 grit after the final coat?Our worktops are supplied pre-sanded to a 150 grit finish, but sometimes it is worth going over the worktop yourself for an extra smooth surface. Use 120 grit orbital sanders all over, then finish by sanding the top and edges lightly with a pad. This will remove any splinters.

I saw that denibbing is recommended with fiddes hardwax oil, how do you do this for a large area such as a floor? I assume you don’t use handheld finishing pads? Can a Floor Sander Drum be used with a fine grain or would this be too heavy handed and strip the finish?
