Textured Wall Art Panels

Apply a layer of joint compound on thin plywood or MDF, press or drag sections of the precut sanding screen through the wet compound to create repeating mesh textures, let dry, then paint with layered washes or metallics. The open-mesh pattern produces a modern industrial relief that’s lightweight and easy to produce in multiples for wall galleries.


Distressed Furniture Finishing

Use the sanding screen for controlled abrasion on painted furniture to reveal underlying layers or raw wood. Its open mesh resists clogging and gives a consistent scuff pattern on edges and flat surfaces. Great for coffee tables, cabinets, and shelving—combine with waxes or glazes to finish and offer one-of-a-kind upcycled pieces.


Formed Lampshade or Light Diffuser

Cut and shape the flexible sanding screen into a shade form and stabilize with a clear epoxy or lacquer resin to lock the shape. The mesh lets light through producing a soft, patterned glow. Use as pendant shades, desk lamp covers, or decorative lanterns for an industrial look.


Texture Stamps for Clay or Plaster

Wrap a strip of the sanding screen around a wooden block or rubber backing to create a hand tool for impressing textures into soft clay, plaster, or joint compound. The uniform holes and grit create an attractive stipple or net pattern ideal for ceramics, garden pots, and decorative panels.


Small-Scale Metal & Resin Finishing

Use the sanding screen to clean and scuff small metal parts, jewelry components, and resin-cast pieces before patination or finishing. The open abrasive avoids clogging with resin and produces a controlled satin finish—handy for makers who need a consistent, fine abrasion on many small items.
