SANDPAPER - GRIT 16

Product Information

Sandpaper Grit 16 belongs to the class of extremely coarse sandpapers. Primarily used for heavy duty sanding and removal of material on rough surfaces, it is a highly effective tool in woodworking, metalworking and other manual craft tasks. This sandpaper is characterized by its prominent, large particles embedded into its surface which gives it a heavy texture ideal for rough work.

Depending on the specific usage, this grit of sandpaper can be employed to remove paint, varnish or rust from surfaces. This is often a preliminary step taken before applying a new layer of paint or finish. Because of its rough texture and extreme coarseness, Sandpaper Grit 16 works quickly to expunge desired surface layers. However, it's important to be cautious when using such a coarse grit to prevent any undesirable scarification of the workpiece.

Typically, a progression through finer grit sandpapers is needed after the use of Sandpaper Grit 16. This progression smoother the surface, erasing scratches and other damage caused by the heavy-duty grit. For instance, you might begin with the coarse 16 grit to remove old paint or varnish, then move on to a 60 or 80 grit to begin smoothing out scratches, and finally finish with a 220 or 320 grit for a smooth, pleasing finish.

Overall, the usage of Sandpaper Grit 16 must be approached with care and consideration due to its extremely rough texture and aggressive abrasion. Proper technique and protective measures should always be incorporated to ensure work safety and efficiency. Despite its coarse nature, it is an indispensable tool in numerous industries, demonstrating its prowess in rapidly removing unwanted surface material. Its application, paired with the appropriate subsequent use of finer sandpapers, enables the creation of finely crafted and gleaming surfaces from their initial rough states.
