What makes a good quality Sandpaper?
- The type of grit.
- The weight of the backing paper.
- The type of adhesive used to attach the grit to the paper.
- A topcoat adhesive should be a resin bonding to heip withstand high frictional temperatures.
- The rigidity of the paper when power sanding and the flexibility when hand sanding.
- The paper should be flexed during production to reduce stiffness.
