Have you ever come across a wooden surface and wondered how smooth it could be? That sheen is because that woodworker sanded the wood to make it shiny and smooth. Sandpaper has grit, so that stuff can be rough or smooth. Numbers are used to measure the grit. The higher the number, the smoother the sandpaper
Choosing the correct grit for your project is quite crucial. If you use too fine of sandpaper, it will take forever to finish. The reason for this is that smooth sandpaper does not cut as fast as rough sandpaper. Conversely, if you use sandpaper that is too coarse, it may not smooth the surface bath enough, and the wood itself may become damaged.
Now that you have an idea of what to do, do so mindfully. Another point that we always hear from people who are doing tools. Wear gloves at all times to prevent dust and splinters from getting in your hands and goggles to protect your eyes from flying dust and debris. If you are doing a lot of sanding, it’s also a good idea to wear a mask, so you don’t breathe a lot of dust.
You can not grip the sandpaper loosely. For best results, use long and smooth strokes. In other words, moving the sandpaper in a smooth and consistent motion, either side to side or in circles, depending on the spot you are sanding. If you press too hard while sanding, you may damage the surface of the wood. Focus instead on letting the sandpaper do the work in gentle but even strokes. This will allow you to get a smoother finish faster.
Sandpaper might seem plain, but it can do much more variety of tasks! Sandpaper can be used with wood, metal, plastic, and glass to smooth out rough spots. This gives it great versatility as a tool to assist you with a wide range of projects. Also, sandpaper is awesome because you can fold it and use it on curved areas, so it's applicable for things that are not flat when it comes to sanding.
