Polishing Glass Edges with 1500 Grit Sandpaper Sheets
Glass edges, whether on tables, windows, or shelves, can often appear rough after cutting. To achieve a smooth, safe, and polished look, sanding with ultra-fine abrasives is essential. eQualle 1500 grit wet or dry sandpaper sheets (9x11 in) are the perfect tool for this job.
Why 1500 Grit for Glass?
1500 grit is fine enough to smooth sharp edges and scratches on glass without chipping. It leaves a frosted finish that can be further polished with finer grits or compounds for a crystal-clear edge.

- eQualle 1500 Grit Sandpaper sheets (9x11 in, Wet or Dry)
- Water spray bottle or bucket with mild soap
- Sanding block or foam pad
