FAQs about P80
What is P80 sandpaper used for?
Heavy stock removal: Remove old coatings, level body filler, rough sanding on wood. Typical for Car & paint, Wood, Metal, Body filler.
Is P80 coarse or fine?
P80 belongs to the coarse range (P24 to P80): heavy stock removal. The higher the number, the finer the grit.
Which grit comes after P80?
After P80 comes P100 or – from our range – P120. Never more than double the number per step – that way the finer grit removes the scratches of the coarser one.
Should P80 be used wet or dry?
Dry, with dust extraction – up to about P600 that is the standard today: faster, and no water in the metal or wood. Mesh discs and multi-hole patterns stop P80 from clogging.
Which grit comes before P80?
Before P80, sand with P60 (or finer). Jump straight to P80 from too coarse a grit and you won't get the scratches out.
