What materials can I sand with this roll?

This roll is suitable for wood, paint, fillers, sealants, and lacquers.

What grit is best for removing paint?

For removing paint, start with a coarser grit (e.g., 80 or 120) and finish with the 240 grit for a smooth finish.

How do I cut the roll?

Use scissors or a utility knife to cut the roll to your desired length.

Can I use this roll with a power sander?

Yes, it is compatible with many power sanders that use roll-type sandpaper.

How do I store the roll?

What does 'stearated' mean?

Stearated means the sandpaper has a coating that reduces clogging.

How long will the roll last?

The lifespan depends on usage, material, and sanding technique. The open coat design helps to extend the life.

What's the difference between open coat and closed coat sandpaper?

Open coat sandpaper has gaps between the abrasive grains, reducing clogging, while closed coat has a higher concentration of grains, suitable for aggressive sanding.

Troubleshooting

Clogging occurs frequently.

Ensure the correct sanding technique and avoid excessive pressure. Consider using a sanding aid or switching to a different type of sandpaper for the material.

Sanding is not effective.

Check the material for compatibility. Make sure you are using the correct grit size for the task.

The sandpaper wears out quickly.

Reduce sanding pressure, and ensure the surface is clean before sanding. Use a more durable backing if possible.
