Introduction

Wet sanding is a technique used to achieve ultra-smooth finishes on wood, metal, and painted surfaces. This article explores the tools, techniques, and benefits of wet sanding with eQualle sandpaper sheets.

Why Wet Sand?

• Minimizes Dust: Water traps particles, reducing airborne debris.

• Versatile: Works on a variety of surfaces, from wood to automotive paint.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Clean the surface and remove dirt or grease. Ensure it is dry before starting.

Step 2: Use the Right Grit

Start with 400 grit for initial smoothing, followed by 800 and finish with 1500 grit for a polished look.

Step 3: Wet the Sandpaper

Soak the sandpaper in water for 15 minutes before use. Use a spray bottle to keep the surface wet during sanding.
