3M™ Scuff-It™ Paint Prep Gel is a one-step scuffing agent that makes panel preparation faster, easier and more thorough. Used in conjunction with Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pads (sold separately), Scuff-It™ Gel produces a ˝key-cut˝ scratch pattern on the surface that improves paint adhesion. A scuff pad or sandpaper alone cuts ˝valleys˝ into the surface that can result in low paint adhesion. Our 3M™ Scuff-It™ Paint Prep Gel works with your Scotch-Brite™ Pad to create a more jagged scratch that locks in the application of primer or paint. The combination of pad and gel makes surface scuffing a quick, easy application requiring minimal elbow grease. Scuff-It™ Gel features a specifically formulated abrasive composition that provides a faster cut than other prep gels, and clings to panels and other vertical surfaces, yet rinses off easily with water. Scotch-Brite™ pads rinse clean of the gel for repeat use and the gel extends the life of the pad even further for greater shop productivity and economy.

Our 3M™ Cut-Off Wheels are engineered for tough cutting applications such as rod or pipe cutting. Quality abrasive grains are bonded together into a rigid, fibre-reinforced wheel that cuts with ease and can be used again and again. We recommend these wheels for a variety of industrial applications on carbon steel, stainless steel (inox), mild steel, stone (as per label), fiberglass and more. Durable and Reliable We engineer 3M™ Cut-Off Wheels with a variety of minerals and construction characteristics that effectively tackle a range of substrates. All are constructed with tough, durable abrasive grains that fracture under pressure to expose fresh cutting edges in use. Aluminum oxide wheels are a good choice for carbon steel applications, while ceramic wheels offer increased performance on many substrates including fiberglass, stainless steel and carbon steel. Wheels designed for use on stainless or mild steel incorporate heat-resistant properties to maintain a sharp cut and lengthen wheel life. Correct Speed is Essential for Safety Cut-off wheels must be attached to a cut-off wheel power tool designed specifically for the diameter of the wheel being used. For safety, cut-off wheels must be used with matched flanges and must always be used with a wheel guard that is compatible with the size of the wheel (See ANSI B7.1 for safety requirements). The cut-off wheel must have a maximum operating speed greater than or equal to the maximum speed of the power tool used. For safety, do not use on tools without guards! Versatile Abrasive with Many Uses Unlike abrasive discs, which shape or sand objects using the disc surface, cut-off wheels make a perpendicular cut through the work piece using the outer edge of the wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are typically used for cutting through metal, for example auto body or marine sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, exhaust pipes, clamps, shafts, and rusted bolts. 3M Engineered for Optimal Performance 3M Abrasives engineers know abrasive construction. For more than 100 years, 3M has been a world leader in developing advanced abrasiv
