Question about wet sanding on furniture
-
At Home With The Ellingtons on May 16, 2016Hey girl! Another beautiful project :-). I dry sand with an extra fine (maybe super fine?) sanding brick. Just lightly like I was wiping down a kitchen counter. GF has some great how to videos which I found on Pinterest of all places. You might want to check their technique out or go to their forum or FB page and ask them directly if you don't find an answer you like. They're very helpful.Helpful Reply

Laurie Mertz on May 17, 2016One of the best techniques I learned when wet sanding is to use a 2000 grit sanding paper but use baby oil or a semilunar oil to sand. It gives it a beautiful smooth finish 😊Helpful Reply

Elaine Simmons on May 18, 2016This is not wet sanding but to get the same kind of finish, use brown paper (the kind that groceries used to come in. Really works great! I am editing to say, the paper should be dry.Helpful Reply

Darla on May 18, 2016If the poly is cured, the water shouldn't affect it. What kind of sandpaper are you using? It should be wet-or-dri, and a very fine grit. Regular sandpaper of the same grit size as the wet-or-dri seems to be much rougher.Helpful Reply
