Wet sanding

Posted by admin on May 5th, 2009 at 07:59am

Ok guys, well ive started re-doing my test piece and had to go right back to 80 grit to get rid of the deep-ish orange peel like scratches. Now using a palm sander, its going ok but still a bit slow for my liking (guess ill have to get used to that!)

So, question is, far as i can tell from this forum a lot of people wet sand after a while whilst going up the grits.

Question is, when should this be started? ive not got much further than hitting the piece with 80 grit so i just need to know when i should be adding water to the mix, or should it be WD40?

Anyone got any tips/advice?
