Italian term or phrase: tampone per carta a secco
Here is an instruction from the body repair manual:

Preparare la zona da riparare mediante carteggiatura con tampone per carta a secco (Pos. 13 – 002000) con carta abrasiva (Pos. 4 – 003000)

I was thinking of "sanding block" or something similar. Has anyone met with this term?

Thanks.
