bradleyheathhays Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Is there a brand of sandpaper that's known for not clogging up? Ideally available in sheets. I'm about to be sanding a resin project up to 600 grit and I can see going through some sandpaper if it clogs up easily on this resin. I'll be chilling the piece before sanding to try to combat any heat buildup. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Can't use wet sandpaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 I suggest a mesh like Abranet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 I do a lot of epoxy inlays on the cnc and use abranet sandpaper, but still have to clean it continuously. I have never chilled the pieces prior to sanding. Just take even steady back and forth and then up and down. Epoxy does not have a grain so you can sand both ways. Then go to the next grit. Make sure to use a brush and vac to clean the abranet in between change of direction or on large pieces more often. If you see any tiny dust swirls stop and clean the sandpaper. If you don't the build up will leave curly swirls in the epoxy. You may not see it now but you will when you finish it. If you are sanding a combination of wood and epoxy be careful because they will sand very differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
