Wetordry™ Sandpaper

Sand between finish coats without clogging for flawless surfaces

Silicon carbide crystals slice through dried varnish and paint films without the heat buildup that clogs ordinary sandpaper. This waterproof construction lets you work wet or dry, add water to float away debris and extend sheet life, or use it dry when convenience matters more than longevity. The sharp synthetic abrasive cuts efficiently through metal primers and finish coats, leveling surfaces between applications without gouging underlying layers.

Waterproof paper backing maintains integrity when saturated, essential for wet-sanding techniques that prevent dust and reduce friction. Five sheets provide enough material for multiple refinishing projects, from smoothing raised grain between varnish coats to preparing metal surfaces for fresh primer. Silicon carbide's consistent cutting action handles everything from aggressive leveling with coarse grits to final polishing with fine grades.

Use cutting oil instead of water when working metals, it lubricates while preventing rust formation on freshly abraded surfaces. The assorted grit selection adapts to different stages: coarser papers remove defects and level uneven buildup, finer grades create smooth foundations for subsequent coats. Professional finishers and furniture makers rely on Wetordry for the kind of flawless surface preparation that makes final finishes genuinely shine.
