eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Preparing Glass Edges (400–2000 Grit Guide)

Cut glass edges can be sharp and unsafe, but sanding smooths them for safer handling and a polished look. eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets are designed to refine glass edges step by step, turning rough cuts into smooth, professional finishes.

Why Sanding Glass Edges Matters

Freshly cut glass often has sharp, jagged edges that can cause injury. Sanding dulls the sharpness, creating safe, rounded edges. Finer grits can polish the glass for clarity and shine, making it ideal for decorative or display pieces.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or foam pad
• Spray bottle with water
• Protective gloves and goggles
• Microfiber cloths
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Glass Edges

• 400 Grit (25-pack) — Begins smoothing sharp glass edges.
• 800 Grit (50-pack) — Refines rough sanding marks and evens edges.
• 1200 Grit (100-pack) — Prepares glass for polishing.
• 2000 Grit (25-pack) — Final sanding for smooth, polished edges.

Step-by-Step: Sanding Glass Edges

1. Secure the glass. Place glass on a stable surface with padding.
2. Start with 400 grit. Wet sand edges to dull sharpness and shape.
3. Switch to 800 grit. Smooth out scratches and refine the edge.
4. Move to 1200 grit. Wet sand for semi-polished clarity.
5. Finish with 2000 grit. Achieve safe, polished edges ready for display.

Special Cases

For thick glass, spend extra time with 400 grit to shape edges. For decorative glass, sanding up to 2000 grit followed by polishing compound provides the best clarity.
