Directions for Use
Expect the work to go slower than a wet belt sander or flat lap. Working with hand pads is usually time-consuming, but it also affords a feel and an intimacy with the glass that’s not usually possible with more elaborate tools
As with most grinding and polishing operations, a typical job calls for using a succession of grits, from coarse to fine
Diamond hand pads are color-coded
Rough grinding and polishing work often starts with 70 grit, then proceeds to 120, 220, and 400
Usually, 600 grit is about as fine as people use with hand pads on the glass; this won’t leave a highly polished surface, but it will go with a nice satin sheen
Regardless of the grit you’re using, be very cautious if you’re working close to areas that you don’t want to work with the hand pads
The pads will quickly scratch shiny surfaces
Perfect for abrading glass, fiberglass, and composites
