Diablo Sandpaper Question

[dale1nemo]

Its from Home Depot and it says premium ceramic blend. I am not really up on my sandpapers however I sure seem to get a lot of swirlmarks with the random orbital. I do sweep the surface from time to time and hand sand when done with the power, and go through all the grits up to 180-220.and I do raise the grain. Maybe its my eyes but I dont see them until I throw the finish on there....like every time.I have floresent fixture directly over my sanding table and an incadesent 100 watt bulb fixture also, and sometimes I will take the piece outside and look it over and sure enough when I put on the transtint or just a natural finish of some type there they are and its time to start over again ! Any tips would help and thanks !

Once I pass 100 grit, I use the more expansive papers. I have found that this is the only way to minimize the odd size grits that can leave the trace marks. I also vacuum the piece with the shop vac to remove any loose debris. From there I tack cloth it.

There's a lot of difference in the type and brands of sanders also.
Some will leave marks no matter what paper you are using.

Wouldn't ya know, the one time CC gets to pull a real CC and no sign of CC.

Apparently he has evaporated.

JJ hasn't been real active lately, either. I hope he's not wearing himself down.
