Glasspaper

Sandpaper, Glasspaper and Garnet papers are commonly available in grit sizes ranging from 40 to 320 and used mainly for dry sanding of wood or paint removal.

Grades 80, 120 and 240 would provide a useful range for general wood finishing.

Finer grits are also available, sometimes known as Flour Paper, and used for cutting back raised grain between varnish coats for example.

Note: Wrap around a cork sanding block when sanding surfaces or clip into a block made or sold for this purpose. Use dry and alter the direction as grades are worked through to remove scratches - but avoid sanding directly across the Grain and always finish with the grain.

Washable and reusable Sanding Sponges are also available and are useful for sanding curved and contoured surfaces.
