Browse sanding sheets, discs, belts, rolls, sponges, blocks, mesh abrasives, detail pads, and assortments in multiple grit ranges for suitable furniture, cabinetry, trim, flooring, doors, decks, siding, and woodworking projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbrasives vary by grit, mineral type, backing, attachment system, flexibility, cut rate, durability, and intended use with hand tools or powered sanders. Coarse grits may remove material quickly, while finer grits help refine scratches and prepare surfaces between finish coats. Beginning with an abrasive that is too aggressive can gouge wood, damage veneer, round edges, or create scratches that remain visible after staining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect a grit sequence appropriate for the wood and existing finish, and test the method on an inconspicuous area. Sand with the grain when practical and avoid excessive pressure or prolonged sanding in one location. Use dust extraction and suitable eye, hearing, and respiratory protection. Wood dust and coating residue can present health and fire hazards, so maintain a clean work area and follow disposal instructions. Do not sand coatings that may contain lead or other hazardous materials without proper testing and controls. Allow dust to settle and clean the surface thoroughly before applying adhesive or finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/sanding-abrasives.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
