Sanding Cuts and Sandpaper

Initial Cut
The purpose of the initial cut is to remove old fi nish and gross imperfections on the fl oor surface. Use a course (20-36 grit) grain
abrasive.
Final Cuts
The purpose of a fi nishing cut is to remove the scratches produced during the initial cut. Use a fi ne (60-80 grit) grain abrasive.
If the surface remains rough after a fi nishing cut, it may be necessary to use an even fi ner grain of abrasive (80-100grit). Care
should be taken in selecting the grit size of the abrasive. A very fi ne grain will close the pores on a wood fl oor making admission of
a stain diffi cult.
If glazing or burning should occur the abrasive has dulled and must be replaced.
