This high quality sandpaper doesn't get filled up with wood or break down. You can keep using it for years!
The sandpaper is required to maintain your spike or to repair already flattened ones. Before you apply glue, it's necessary to reshape it to it's original state. Sandpaper on a hard surface, like this one, is perfect for the job.
Have you practiced stalls yet?
"Stalling" the Ken or the Tama on the side of the cups. Stalls are super precise tricks that require a bit of friction between the bevel (hole of the Tama) and the Ken. When the surfaces are slippery, stalls become exponentially more difficult to perform.
There are 2 ways the sandpaper coin helps your stalls:
1. Sand the bevel (the hole in the Tama) slightly, so there is more surface area to stall onto. This creates more friction.
2. Sand the side of the cups (the stall points) slightly, so the wood becomes less slippery. This can help you learn and perform stalls immensely.
