The Mirka GOLD 2.75" x 16.5" Grip Sheets P36, Model 23-663-036, is a coarse sanding sheet for fast stock removal and surface preparation. This is a sanding sheet designed for aggressive sanding, stripping, and leveling work on a wide range of materials. If you need to cut through old finish, shape filler, or flatten rough surfaces before moving to finer grits, this is the kind of sheet you reach for first.

Mirka's Gold abrasive line is known as a durable, multi-use abrasive built for high-speed sanding without clogging. That matters because coarse sanding creates debris quickly, and a sheet that loads up too fast stops cutting and starts wasting effort. In practical terms, this sheet is meant to stay productive during heavy prep work instead of quitting early when you lean on it.

The 2.75 inch by 16.5 inch grip-sheet size fits long, narrow sanding applications where control and surface coverage matter. That makes it especially useful for file-style sanding tools and hand blocks that accept grip-backed sheets. The format gives you a long contact patch for consistent passes on panels, edges, fillers, and long flat sections.

The P36 grit is the rough end of the sanding range, so this is not a finishing abrasive. It is the right choice when the job is removing material, not polishing it. Use it to strip paint, cut down body filler, level plaster or filler, and rough-shape wood or synthetic material before stepping through finer grits for surface refinement.

Mirka lists this abrasive for a broad material range including copper alloys, brass, bronze, non-ferrous metal, paint removal, plaster, filler, glass fiber, synthetic materials, chipboard, veneer, plastics, primer, paint sanding, body filler, hardwood, soft or resinous wood, and lacquers. That kind of range is useful in real shops because you can keep the same abrasive family on hand while moving between wood prep, automotive refinishing, and general sanding work.

This pack includes 50 sheets, which makes sense for production work, refinish prep, or any shop that goes through coarse abrasives regularly. For a pro doing repeated sanding cycles, buying by the box is usually the smarter move. For a serious DIY user tackling paint removal, filler shaping, or restoration work, it also means you are stocked for the full project instead of piecing it together sheet by sheet.

If your work starts with rough shaping and fast removal, this Mirka sanding sheet is a solid fit. If your job is already in the finish-sanding stage, you will want a finer grit. That is the honest line with this product: it is built to get surfaces ready for the next step, not to leave the final finish.
