Sandpaper: A Essential Tool for Wall Repair
Sandpaper is a crucial tool used in the process of fixing walls. It is used to smooth out surfaces, removing old paint, filler, or other imperfections.
Types of Sandpaper
- Coarse-grit sandpaper (low number, e.g.,60-80) for removing old finishes
- Medium-grit sandpaper (e.g.,120-150) for smoothing surfaces
- Fine-grit sandpaper (high number, e.g.,220-240) for final smoothing before painting
Using Sandpaper
To use sandpaper effectively, start with a coarse grit and progress to finer grits. Always sand in the direction of the surface's grain or texture to avoid scratches.
