Rubin 2 Applications | Suggested Grit | Process Level |
---|---|---|
Wood | P24 - P60 | heavy duty |
Wood | P80 - P120 | intermediate |
Wood | P150 - P180 | prep for finish |
- Use grits P24 to P60 for rapid removal and rough surface quality. High material removal means low surface quality. This preps surfaces for higher grits.
- Use grits P80 to P120 to accomplish intermediate sanding. You will still have a fast removal rate while achieving good surface quality.
- Use grits P150 to P180 for finish sanding. Remember that soft wood does not require as fine a sanded finish as hardwood. If you want to sand wood higher than P180, use Brilliant 2 from P220 to P400. Sanding higher that P180 is not recommended for stains, as they will not penetrate as readily.
Tip
Use coarser grits for faster results; avoid skipping grits for best surface quality. The wood-specific coating for the Rubin abrasives means that they are long lasting.
Rubin 2 abrasive was developed for natural wood, wood composites and veneers. Rubin has a special coating which sheds wood fibers. Use on hardwoods like oak or maple, soft woods like pine or fir, tropical woods like ebony or teak, as well as on wood-based products.
