While some will only do two sides, and some will do four, I pefer six, but I adjust the time I sand each side accordingly.
For example, when sanding just two sides I would normally sand each side around 15 passes. When I sand four sides I would sand each side around 8 passes, and when I sand six sides I tend to use around 4 passes. This is just for coverstock maintenance or adjustment.
When resurfacing, I always sand all six sides, usually always passing over each of the six sides with each grit. If the ball isn''t in need of a full resurface but needs more than a touch up I might start on the first two sides with 180 grit abralon (if I really want to dig into the coverstock), then move up to 360 for the next two sides, and then 500 for the next two sides. Then I''ll make a decision based upon what I want the final surface to be like.
I might just jump straight to a 4000 grit and polish, or I could go to a straight 2000, or I might step up from 1000 to 2000 to 4000...it all really depends on the ball and what I''m looking for. You really have an unlimited number of options.
