Understand Grit Sizes and Color-Coding

grains but this one is unique in that it will take do a better job of not loading because of the channels in between right it's going to run a little cooler because of that but but the key to that is it's not going to it's going to load up in that channel rather than into the grain right if you're giving the the the the substrate you're sanding a place to stick to rather than inside the Grain and I know what are the other frustrating things with foam abrasives is a lot of times you know for Whatever Manufacturing reasons they can't you know um identify it with um a number and let you know but you guys have done something kind of unique and these abrasives right here they're color coded and the color coding actually means something can you just tell us what um the abrasives are and it's a very good point because on a half inch sponge it's really not a way to print to it if you use a one-sided sponge you can print to the back the grit one inch sponge you'll have it on the front the blocks but these it was always very difficult but I'd be in a shop myself and have to fill it to know what's going on because for every color you had different grits so this is really cool and the way I would separate this is first of all the Grits are the green is 100 grit now when you're talking about grits on sandpaper that's why in the past we never would tell you what grid it was we would say it's finer super fine because somebody says Hunter grid oh my God I'm going to tear something up with that a simple rule of thumb to know about sponge grating is it is made with a 100 grit grain which is typically a stock removal grain but because of this foam you get a lot of recession so you're not you're not you're getting the tip of that grain so the best way to do it is take that grain just as rule of thumb and multiply it by 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…
