Dec 28, 2023

Many people often have a bunch of tools, rubbing, grinding, disk, wipe a lot, but there are many friends are often stumped by thin sandpaper  , do not know how to choose, how to use, where to use! We'll have it today!

Sandpaper according to the material we are generally divided into dry abrasive paper, water resistant sandpaper, sponge sandpaper three, regardless of other uses today we come to the plate how we choose sandpaper.

Different types of play with different numbers of sandpaper, jade class is relatively hard, can use 220 or 400 mesh to polish the skin, wood string class can use 800 to polish the bottom. After grinding the skin or doing the bottom, you can gradually increase the number of mesh, to 2000 is basically polished.

Jade:

Beeswax is an important type of star that is polished by the artist himself, but relatively speaking, beeswax is relatively brittle, so at the beginning, you can use 120 purpose dry sandpaper to skin and shape, and it is recommended to wear gloves when polishing, because sandpaper will heat and heat your hands. Then use water abraded sandpaper to polish, from 320 mesh to 1500 mesh sequentially. Finally, slowly grind and polish with 2000 to 5000 mesh.

Other jade-like stones are harder than beeswax, so they can be polished directly from 220 to 320 mesh.

Wooden string category:

Wood string grinding can be used to polish the bottom with 800 mesh, and then from 1000 mesh to 3000 mesh can basically complete the grinding and polishing.

But special attention should be paid to rosewood and starmoon Bodhi. Because lobular rosewood has Venus, if it is too rough, Venus is easy to fall off, so it is recommended that lobular rosewood be polished with 2000 mesh, as far as possible to protect Venus and polish.

Because the star and moon bodhi have been cleaned in the early stage, and try not to damage the star and moon, it can be polished directly with 3000 mesh.

When the star moon bodhi becomes smooth, that is, it does not have too much rough feeling to touch, it can be polished for 8000 purposes, basically, after polishing, it can be overhand.

With the sandpaper, the string of beads polished to a satisfactory state, will certainly be more like the disc, naturally also more like the disc!
