Frequently asked questions
What does 'P180' stand for?
The 'P' refers to the European standard (FEPA), and the number 180 indicates the grit size. The higher the number, the finer the grit. P180 is a fine grit, ideal for sanding paint layers and fine woodworking.
Can I use this sandpaper wet?
No, this is specifically dry sandpaper. If it gets wet, the paper backing will tear quickly and lose its effectiveness. For wet sanding, you need waterproof sandpaper.
Is this sandpaper suitable for a sanding machine?
These sheets are primarily meant for manual sanding or for use on a hand-sanding block. You can cut them to size for clamp-on sanders, but they do not have a hook-and-loop (velcro) backing.
