A field guide to diamond hand pads for granite sink cutouts, corners, and repair polishing.
Even with CNC profiling, fabricators still need diamond hand pads for corners, faucet holes, and on-site touch-ups. Flexible resin pads conform to radius edges and restore gloss without reopening a full machine process. Protec Tools hand pads are built for wet use on granite, marble, and engineered stone during installation punch lists.
Recommended on-site sequence
- Start at the grit that matches residual scratches, not always 50
- Work wet with light pressure and overlapping strokes
- Wipe the edge between grits to inspect scratch uniformity
- Finish with 1500–3000 grit before applying sealer if required
Stock pads by diameter and grit in sealed bags so field crews do not mix contaminated grit steps. Consistent kits protect brand quality on every install.
