Sanding sponge grit equivalent??
Tom Norton
Wondering how to determine the equivalent of grit to a sanding sponge? The 3M site seems to be lacking as for info. Have 6 Shaker style chairs that I am varnishing and thought it might be easier to use a conformable sanding media.
Any part number or picture?

Are you talking about a sponge with abrasive on 4 sides, or a foam backed sheet? I use 320 Siasoft foam backed adhesive for that purpose all the time. Big Box sponges are too course for sanding between coats.

No, they are more like a scouring pad. I have a white & purple. But can't find what they equate to.

Thanks Dick! I guess I did not know the correct name.
