Put the finishing touches on the piece of metal you're prepping with this Bear-Tex Vortex Rapid Prep AO fine grit non-woven standard back-up pad disc. The high-performing, patented Vortex grain uses agglomerated aluminum oxide to produce a fine grit that gently lifts away surface irregularities and leaves a smear-free finish that looks great on completed workpieces. This durable, nylon-backed disc is also ideal for prep work on fiberglass, super alloys and almost any steel alloy you're likely to use.
