Blue Dolphin Tapes - Wet and Dry Sand Paper

Wet and Dry Sand Paper

Sand metal, wood, or glass to professional smoothness wet or dry

Silicon carbide crystals fracture during use, constantly exposing fresh cutting edges that maintain consistent abrasion through the paper's life. This resin-bonded abrasive on waterproof latex backing handles both dry sanding and wet applications where water or mineral spirits flush away material buildup and reduce heat. The versatility matters when moving between substrates, same paper grinds rust from metal armatures, smooths wood panels, and refines acrylic or resin surfaces without switching grits mid-project.

Wet sanding produces finer finishes with less paper clogging. Water carries away particles that would otherwise embed in the abrasive and reduce cutting efficiency. For sculptural work transitioning between materials or preparing mixed-media surfaces, these sheets adapt to whatever needs smoothing. The latex backing flexes enough to conform to gentle curves while maintaining enough body for flat work.

Use coarse grits for grinding and rust removal, medium grits for leveling imperfections, fine grits for final smoothing before finishing. Silicon carbide cuts harder materials more aggressively than aluminum oxide papers, making it particularly effective on glass, ceramics, and metal, surfaces that quickly dull standard sandpaper.
