Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or other
synthetic abrasives are recommended for
power sanding use. Natural abrasives, such as
flint or garnet sheet are too soft for economical

backing, cuts faster and lasts longer.
Assembly
The abrasive sheet must be drawn as tight as
possible for efficient sanding, as a loose sheet
can slip on the work surface.
