The Aimchamp sandpaper is a really special type of material that people use to smooth and polish surfaces. Made by covering a thick piece of paper or cloth with coarse grains that work to polish various surfaces. The two types of sandpaper you can choose from are wet and dry. So let’s discuss the differences between these two types and how to use each properly to aid you get the best results.
The most widely used sand paper in projects is the dry Sanding Disc. You will most commonly see it used to sand furniture, walls, and other places in preparation for painting or staining. Look at sandpaper - when you touch it, its dry - it works on "dry condition" - therefore it is rough. It has various levels of roughness referred to as grits. The grit number tells you whether the sandpaper is coarse or fine. This means that the sandpaper is coarser and will take more material away at a time. Conversely, the higher the grit number, the smoother the sandpaper and the finer the finish it will provide.
Aimchamp Wet sandpaper is yet another that’s designed to be used with water. Wet sandpaper is used when people need something to be extremely smooth. This includes such things as vehicle bodies, boats, and airplanes. Wet sandpaper is finer than dry sandpaper. With water, it can make the surface slippery, which keeps scratches from showing. Like dry sandpaper, wet sandpaper is available in different grits, allowing you to select the appropriate one for your task.
For this reason, you will be able to create a much smoother finish with wet sandpaper than dry sandpaper. The wash phase lubricates the surface, reducing scratches and preventing dust or debris from clogging the sandpaper. That is what makes wet sandpaper highly effective for sanding different materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Wet sandpaper is often the best option when you want a firm, with a shiny well-polished look on your project.
You should use dry sandpaper when you are looking to smooth rough surfaces that do not require to be perfectly smooth. Commonly used for stripping paint, rust, and other defects of substrates that are to be painted or stained. For example, if you have a piece of wood that has rough spots or old paint that must be removed, dry sandpaper is the best tool for this job. It works a treat for Sanding Sponge and can help you remove those bumps and rough areas quickly.
The key when using wet sandpaper is that the sandpaper needs to remain wet for the entire duration of the sanding process. For this, you just need to use a spray bottle with water or dip the sandpaper in a bucket full of water. Also, if applicable, use a sanding block, which is a tool for holding the sandpaper to ensure an even finish on the surface you are working on. If you are using S65 Sanding Sponge for example, first you need a low grit sandpaper, then higher grit sand paper at the end for a finer finish. You should always sand in one direction to not mess up the surface and create scratches or uneven places.
The higher grit wet sand papers helps achieve a smooth texture as you will need. Available in multiple grits, Aimchamp's wet sandpaper is well equipped for getting the finish you want. It is this brand that is best known for providing sandpaper that is not only long-lasting but durable, thereby allowing you to use it over many different projects without having to replace it quickly. What’s more, the sheets of wet sandpaper are made to be convenient to use, not only making it perfect for professional users who routinely handle these kinds of materials, but also a lovely addition for beginner DIY enthusiasts.
