07A100 - Walter Blendex Maroon Hand Pad 6x9 General Purpose

Professional Weld Prep and Finishing Pad

For professional welders and fabricators, surface preparation is key to a quality weld, and the Walter Blendex Hand Pad (Maroon) is the tool for the job. This 6" x 9" abrasive pad is engineered to clean and condition metal surfaces without altering the geometry of the workpiece. It is an excellent alternative to steel wool, especially when working with stainless steel or aluminum, as it eliminates the risk of leaving behind iron particles that could lead to after-rust or weld contamination.

The maroon General Purpose pad is versatile enough to handle a range of tasks in the welding shop. Use it to clean base materials before welding, removing oils, oxides, and light scale to ensure better arc stability and fusion. After welding, it is perfect for removing heat tint (discoloration) from the heat-affected zone or for blending minor surface imperfections to create a uniform appearance. Its flexibility allows you to wrap it around pipes, tubes, and railings, ensuring 360-degree cleaning coverage.

Durability is a hallmark of the Walter Blendex series. The non-woven web is tough yet pliable, resisting tearing even when used on jagged edges or threads. Because it is waterproof, you can use it with liquid cleaners, degreasers, or pickling pastes to enhance the cleaning action. It won't rust or splinter, keeping your workspace cleaner and your hands safer. Add the 07A100 to your welding table for a reliable, go-to solution for all your manual finishing needs.
