Proper Use of Sandpaper
Coarse
12, 16, 20* ... For rough sanding of very uneven floors, removing old surface coatings
and leveling floors.
Intermediate
36* 40 ... For intermediate sanding of very uneven floors following rough sanding. For
initial sanding of moderately worn floors.
Final
60*, 80, 100* ... For finish sanding of all floors prior to applying new coatings. For
removing light scratches, sanding marks and minor surface damage.
Screens
100, 120 ... For removing fine scratch marks prior to applying new coatings. For light
sanding between surface coatings.
* Indicates most popular grits for sanding floors. 60 & 100 grit should be used in succession
for proper finish. Never skip more than two grits when sanding a floor.
Example: DO NOT jump from 36 grit to 80 or 100 grit.
Always start your sanding project with the highest grit possible that will cut and level your
floor. If your chosen grit will not cut the finish or level the floor, go down one grit size to
complete the cut!
