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
• Invaluable for seaming and edging
