SANDPAPER SELECTION

Selectingthe correct size gritand type sandpaper is an extremelyimportantstep in achievinga high quality sanded finish.Aluminum oxide, siliconcarbide, and other syntheticabrsaivea are bestfor power sanding. Natural abrasivessuch as flint and gernetare too solt for eco- nomical use in power sanding. In genera[,coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best _nish in all sanding operations.The conditionof the surface to be sanded will determine which gritwill do the job. If the surface is rough,start with a coarse grit and sand untilthe surface Is uniform.Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit a,'_d

finer grit used for finishingof the surface.Always continue sanding with each grit untilsurface is uniform.
