What it concludes

• Foam backed sandpaper is superior to paper sandpaper because it does not tear and avoids leaving deep grooves.
• Scratches from 150 grit sandpaper can be smoothed by scraping with a knife to make it perform like a perfect lightweight all-purpose sander.
• Sanders should be angled about 10 to 15 degrees rather than sanded in a directly straight line to cover more space and prevent deep groove lines.
• Using an LED light while sanding helps reveal imperfections and ensures you do not do more work than necessary.
