Sandpaper

Plain 9 x 11 in. aluminum oxide sheets tear down to fit a rubber block; hook-and-lock backed sheets in triangle, mouse and rectangular shapes drop straight onto a detail sander. Grit runs 60 coarse for stripping through 400 micro fine for between-coat work, and the ceramic blend sheets hold their cut longer on drywall compound and paint than plain aluminum oxide does.

Which grit for which job? See the sanding grit chart (80 to 220 grit and up).
