Sandpaper and abrasive are essential in work, particularly in carpentry. They are mainly used to sand wood, metal and even stone to be able to paint, glue or assemble them. It is possible to find several types of sandpaper. They are distinguished based on the paper itself, as well as the abrasive particles such as flint, garnet, emery, alumina, etc.
For your renovation or construction work, you need to choose the right sandpaper. Each type of abrasive has a particular function. For example, if you need to work on wood, opt for garnet sandpaper. It is also ideal for removing paint. Corundum paper is better suited for hard wood or old paint. There is also what is called anti-clogging paper which is perfect for working on plaster, resin, plaster or varnish. Emery paper, on the other hand, is exclusively reserved for water polishing metal (steel, cast iron, copper, etc.). Depending on your needs, you can find them on the market in different forms and sizes: sheets, rolls, discs, tapes, etc. Steel wool is also highly effective for shining metal and is available in rolls. Additionally, you can use a liquid abrasive sold in bottles, which is perfect for degreasing a surface before starting repairs. To work on wood more comfortably, complement your tools with a new sander, a hand planer and a rasp.
