Sanding Tips! #fyb #uneeda

What happens here

The video introduces the fundamental rule for sanding: 'don't skip the grit.' This rule dictates that you should not skip more than one grit size when progressing through sanding steps. For instance, if you are currently sanding with 120 grit sandpaper, your next appropriate grit size would be 180. Skipping directly to a much finer grit like 220 or 320 is cautioned against.

Goal: Learn the basic principle of sanding grit progression.

sharing the standing experts um I heard you say just recently don't skip the grit so what the heck does that all mean well I've seen several times on a post that people will talk about going from like 120 to 320 or 120 to 220 and the rule of thumb is that you cannot skip more than one grit when you're sanding
