Recommended Finishing Sequence

For best results, begin with the appropriate grit for the condition of your workpiece and progressively move to finer grades:

80 Grit → 120 Grit → 180 Grit → 280 Grit → Fine Sanding & Polishing

Progressing through abrasive grades helps minimize deeper sanding marks and produces a more uniform surface for subsequent finishing.

Please Note: These shop rolls are supplied as continuous abrasive material and can be cut to the desired length. Sanding sticks and other accessories are sold separately.
