469 forum posts 50 photos	I recently purchased a Black and Decker "Mouse" sander. Very useful tool. However, in the pack of shaped sanding sheets supplied, are two sheets that look as if they are made like a plastic pot scourer. One is white the other a dark red/brown colour. I assume that they are for some fine finishing; but there is nothing in the obstructions. Is that what they are, and how are they used please. Regards Maurice
