SANDING SHEET
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and
other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet, are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.

OPERATION

In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded
will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is
rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface
is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for
finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.

sheet with the pointed tip and rounded edges of the
hook-and-loop pad. Carefully press the fuzzy side
of the sanding sheet against the pad as tightly as
