Adhesive aluminum blank

This aluminum blank is a base for gluing sharpening stone, leather or sandpaper on it, can be easily clamped into the abrasive holder. Due to the bevels of the blank the abrasive stone/leather/sandpaper will be clamped firmly. Compared to plastic blanks aluminum blanks give the additional rigidity and firmness.

The blank has a special adhesive base 3M. The main feature of this coating is the use of elastic acrylic polymers with closed cells as a base. They allow you to immediately fix stones or leather on the blank, while having exceptional bonding strength. This coating shows high resistance to UV radiation, moisture, salts, solvents and temperature.
