Wet sanding

What's your methods of wet sanding :confused:

Thanks in advance :smile:

Sandpaper and water, rub gently. What do you want to know?

So you just simply dip the sandpaper in water? I'm just curious because I have never wetsanded before.

Thanks for the reply :)

i just run the faucet in my sink and go to town...keeping the model wet at all times and just sand away.

Use a little dish detergent in the water...just a little. Watch the edges, as you will rub through them first. Make sure the surface is clean before you start, and stays contaminant (dust, dirt) free as much as possible. Work slowly, and check often by drying the area from time to time.

what grit paper should u use?

If it is for a final finish, I usually start with 1500, which is a little agressive, so you have to be careful. I think give a quick sand with 2000, and then rub it out with compounds.
