Usage Guidelines

FAQs

1) Which grit should I use for my project?

Grit 80-100 for heavy removal (paint stripping, rust removal). Grit 120 for general preparation (standard surface prep). Grit 150-180 for smoothing (between-coat sanding). Grit 220 for final finishing (premium surface prep). Choose based on surface condition and desired finish.

2) Should I sand between coats of paint?

Yes, light sanding between coats improves adhesion and finish quality. Use Grit 150-180 for between-coat sanding. Lightly sand primer before topcoat, and first topcoat before second coat. Remove dust before applying next coat.

3) Can I use the same sandpaper for wood and metal?

Yes, TruStar Sanding Paper works on wood, metal, and plaster. However, sandpaper wears faster on metal and plaster than wood. For best results, use fresh sandpaper for each surface type and replace when worn.

4) How do I know when sandpaper is worn out?

Replace when: (1) Abrasive surface is smooth/shiny, (2) Sanding takes longer with same effort, (3) Paper tears or backing separates, (4) Clogged with paint/dust that won't clean, or (5) Scratches instead of smoothing. Fresh sandpaper ensures efficient work.

5) Should I sand with or against the wood grain?

Always sand along the wood grain direction, never against it. Sanding across grain creates scratches visible under paint. For final finishing with very fine grit (220), sanding with grain is critical for professional results.

6) How do I prevent clogging when sanding painted surfaces?

Use coarse grit (80-100) for paint removal which resists clogging better than fine grits. Sand in short strokes, tap sandpaper frequently to remove dust, and replace when clogged. For heavy paint, consider paint stripper before sanding.

7) Do I need to sand before applying primer?

Yes, sanding before primer ensures better adhesion. Use Grit 120-150 to create tooth for primer to grip. On new wood, light sanding removes mill glaze. On old painted surfaces, sanding removes gloss for primer adhesion.
