  • Consistent sizing. We have selected papers and plastics, which maintain a tight tolerance.
  • Waterproof paper and plastics do not absorb water. Leads to a more stable repair.
  • Color-coding keeps the bench organized and leads to more efficient repair.
  • 9.5mm center hole fits flutes better than standard 9mm.
