attached to the backing material with an adhesive.ROLLINGDOG gritranges from 40 to 2000,with 40 being used forheavy surface removal and 2000 being for finemetal finishing.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several types of materials that grit is made from,with aluminum oxide and Siliconcarbide being the most common.The majorityof ROLLINGDOG\u2019s sandpaper is made withAluminum oxide as it is more durable and longer lasting.But for finishing,silicon carbidewould be the preferred choice.Although it ismore brittle and less durable than aluminumoxide,its sharper and harder grains allow it toproduce a much smoother finish with high gritlevel sandpaper.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\"

365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of house painting and related projects will only need to be concerned with60 to 240 grit.Starting from the lowest grit you will progress up to higher grit in steps toensure no more than needed of surface is removed.Start with 60 grit if there are deepscratches or dents in the surface and once everything is level or looks similar you canbegin to smooth it out by using 80 grit,then 120 grit,then 180 grit,and finishing with 240grit for most wooden surfaces.Higher grits are needed for smoothing hard surfaces likemetal or fine surface scratches from hardwoods.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ALUMINUM OXIDE GRIT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
