Scotch Brite
« on: September 08, 2007, 08:11:12 AM »
I'm using a green scotch brite on my Secret Agent by hand. I know that it puts 600 grit on the ball, but I'm assuming that's if you're using a spinner. By hand, about what grit are you actually putting on? (I use water by the way)

This is a guess, because I don't know the amount of pressure and time you are putting on one area of the ball but I'd guess approximately 800, give or take. Again, simply a guess.

600 is 600 no matter if you use a spinner or not.  Same as sandpaper and abralon.

600 is 600, but the amount of effort you put into it can make a tremendous difference in the final true grit.  How much pressure you use and how long you do it can give you anything between 600-grit and the stock 4000-grit.  It's much easier to get the real 600-grit with a spinner than by hand, and if you don't put the time and effort into it, there's no telling.

Best thing is to decide if you like the reaction you've gotten with the green pad and if so, maintain it by being consistent each time.

sorry Shelly, I disagree with pressure changing the depth of a cut when it comes to GRIT! The harder you press the Quicker the grit is removed from the pad, no matter what your using. When Sanding with water, the lighter the pressure the easier the residue flushes from the paper or pad.
