FAQs
What is 60 grit sandpaper best used for?
60 grit is considered coarse and is ideal for aggressive material removal such as stripping paint, varnish, rust, or for shaping wood and metal in the initial stages of a project.
Can I use this sandpaper for fine finishing?
No, 60 grit is far too coarse for fine finishing. It will leave deep scratches. You will need to use much finer grits (e.g., 120, 220, and above) for finishing.
How should I attach the sandpaper to a sanding block?
Drape the sandpaper over the block and secure it using the block's clamping mechanism or by folding the edges and ensuring it is held taut and flat.
How do I clean the sandpaper?
You can tap the sandpaper gently on a hard surface to dislodge loose debris. For heavily clogged sandpaper, it is usually more effective to replace it.
What materials can I use this sandpaper on?
These sheets are suitable for stripping on most materials, including wood and metal. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How many sheets are in a pack?
This pack contains 5 sandpaper sheets.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper not removing material effectively.
Ensure you are applying adequate pressure and that the sandpaper is oriented correctly for the task. For very tough finishes, consider if a different grit might be more suitable or if multiple passes are needed.
Sandpaper tearing or wearing out too quickly.
Check for sharp edges on the material being sanded. Ensure you are not applying excessive force in one spot. Clean debris from the sandpaper surface periodically.
Leaving deep scratches on the surface.
This is expected with 60 grit sandpaper. Ensure you plan to follow up with finer grit sandpaper to achieve a smoother finish. Use lighter pressure and consider a sanding block for more even results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandpaper sheets require no specific setup. They are ready for immediate use. Attach a sheet securely to a sanding block if desired, ensuring it is held taut.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on a variety of materials including wood, metal, and some plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with softer materials.
