I might as well be the first...

Why are they blue?


Because.

Oddly blue in the center and dark grey on the outside.

I got a few samples of the sponges at the Festool Road Show back in
December.

These sponges have the Granat grit but the Granat paper for the electric
sanders is light blue in color.

That said, the Granat paper lasts 5~10 times longer than regular sand
paper and does not clog easily.


I've been using the Diablo Sand-Net disks on my ROS and they seem to work really well.
I've not had any of the ripping that some folks have mentioned and they don't clog at all.

I've even used them by hand to knock down brushstrokes and smooth primer. No clogging
with paint like paper would because of the net construction.

Haven't tried any Granat paper yet. I'll do that.
