Using the Set
Choosing a grit
Start with the grit that matches the work, then move to a finer grade when you need a smoother surface. The range covers heavier shaping through fine finishing on model parts.
Wet or dry work
Use the abrasives dry for quick material removal or wet when you want to reduce dust and keep the working surface cleaner. Test your technique on a spare part before working on delicate detail.
