Which type of sandpaper is best for sanding wood?
assistant
The best type of sandpaper to use when sanding wood depends on the desired finish. For a smooth, glossy finish, use a medium-grit paper; for a slightly rougher surface with some texture, use a coarse-grit paper. For a more textured look, use a fine-grit paper. Make sure to use a dust mask and eye protection when using any kind of sandpaper.
