Q: Do I use these pads to flat sand high build varnish in preparation for the finish coast of gloss varnish ? Thanks Jeff

1 Answer

A: I use these to scuff varnish, interestingly on acrylic coated canvas fine art prints which is quite a bit different from furniture or boats. They will scuff your coat to give it a small amount of tooth for a final finish, but they are not going to flat sand in the same way wet sanding does with regular sand paper. I use them both wet and dry but usually wet. The auto body people use these if that helps with what they do. For a very fine scuffing using paper, Jamestown sells very, very fine 3M sandpaper. I use 2000 grit. The scuff pads are quite flexible and easy to use however. Doyne Loyd (Margaret is my wife) I am not supposed to include links but if you want to see what I mean by canvas prints you can go to our website via a search.

A: I have had success in getting light scratches out of stainless steel with these pads. The key is to rub back and forth going WITH the grain in the stainless. You might also consider going with a finer grit pad, like the 3M grey pads.
