Starke Quick Sand – Heavy Cut Compound for Gelcoat & Fiberglass

Starke Quick Sand is a professional-grade heavy cut compound built for marine, fiberglass, and tooling applications. Designed to remove 400–600 grit sanding scratches and eliminate heavy oxidation, Quick Sand restores depth and color to dull gelcoat surfaces faster than conventional compounds.

Fast Cutting Power with a Clean Finish

This compound levels out sanding marks, chalking, and faded oxidation while leaving a smoother, clearer surface that’s easier to refine. Unlike cheaper alternatives, Quick Sand maintains consistent performance on both standard and tooling gelcoats, even during high-heat rotary buffing.

Two-Step Correction System

For best results, follow Quick Sand with Starke Level R or Starke Blaze. This combination restores full gloss and removes any micro haze or swirl marks, leaving a deep, mirror-like finish that stands out in the sun.

  • Step 1: Cut with Starke Quick Sand to remove heavy oxidation and 400–600 grit sanding marks.
  • Step 2: Polish with Level R or Blaze for depth, clarity, and gloss retention.

Key Benefits

  • Removes heavy oxidation and sanding haze from gelcoat and paint
  • Safe for tooling gelcoats, fiberglass molds, and marine finishes
  • Delivers rapid correction with low dust and smooth wipe-off
  • Pairs perfectly with wool or microfiber cutting pads
  • Professional two-step finishing system for marine restoration

How to Use

  1. Level the surface to 400–600 grit before compounding.
  2. Apply a moderate amount of Quick Sand to a wool or microfiber cutting pad.
  3. Buff a 2'×2' section using steady pressure and overlapping passes.
  4. Wipe residue clean and inspect under strong lighting.
  5. Follow with Starke Level R or Starke Blaze to refine gloss.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Keep pads clean and rotate frequently to maintain consistent cutting.
