Apply Specific Grits for Optimal Refinishing

two so 100 grit is going to typically finish around a 220 180 220 120 is going to finish more like a 240 to 280 somewhere around there so just don't get freaked out if you're using something that says 100 grit on a sponge so the 100 grit is the green the gold is 120 purple's 150 the blue is 180 and the Orange is 220. now the way I would separate this these two here the 100 grit and the 120 are almost always going to be used on paint um you know that that just is typically your go-to for in between coats of paint um when you start getting in the in the coach uh seal coach you need something a lot finer because you really don't want to cut through paints even a little bit easier to repair than cutting through a seal coat so 150 is kind of right there in the middle and we do uh see pretty good usage on this but the most popular grip by far for in between coats of silcoat or seal sanding is going to be the 180 right and then the 220 if you wanted a little bit less aggressive and quite frankly with some of this stuff and one thing um and I think you guys sell it is the sample pack where you kind of get a little bit of each and that's really the best way to do it because each person's a little different you know you got bigger arms than me so you're probably hitting a little harder and so you might want to go a little bit finer than I would but you kind of want to play with that a little bit and get get your sweet spot yeah it's kind of interesting because um you learn something every day I had no idea why um you know numbers weren't used and it was um you know identified just by fine or very fine so that's great and then just multiplying that number and understanding that that's it's not perfect but it's close just as a rule of thumb if you multiply it by two you know you've got finished products here none of this is made in fact if you tried to cut white wood with this you're just wasting your time yeah exactly I would have never thought a 100 100 grit would be for finishing so that's that's good to know so cool little um fact about the abrasives there so if you guys got any questions about academic sponges um just leave it down in the comment section below we'll try to answer your questions you know as soon as we can we'll see you right here next time on
