Answer
Silicon carbide wet/dry sandpaper is useful for plastic, metal prep, finishes, and fine wet sanding. Choose grit by the task.
Why it happens
Silicon carbide is commonly used for wet/dry sanding and works well on hard materials, plastics, finishes, metal prep, and fine sanding.
Recommended grit
Use the grit sequence based on the surface, not only the abrasive material.
Wet or dry
Wet or dry.
Success check
The grit and abrasive match the material and finish goal.
What to do
- Choose the grit by task first.
- Use coarse grits for removal or shaping.
- Use medium grits for prep.
- Use fine and ultra-fine grits for wet sanding and finishing.
Avoid: Do not choose sandpaper by abrasive material only and ignore grit progression.
