Aaron813 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wow well being that your using a belt sander I would start with a semi rough grit then finish with a very fine grit. If you can hand sand it then start with a real rough grit then move to a semi rough then to a real fine. What part are you sanding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
