Hi All, Haven't been here much lately, so I apologize for that. I'm going to buy some 24" diameter adhesive backed sand paper for my radius dishes. Our local tool supply company has 80, 100 & 120 grit. I'm thinking of buying the 100 grit but I'd like to here what you guys are using. Thanks, Kirt |

100 is an all round good grit. rough enough to quickly sand rims and brace contours and still leave a decent glue surface. |

Thanks, Michael & Hesh. That's good to HEAR. Guess I should have spell checked. I'm thinking I can get away with a slightly rougher glue joint, because I'll come back and reglue a good share of it with the bindings. So maybe I'll go with the 80 grit, should last longer too. I can always smooth things up a little once I get the contour right. Cheers, Kirt |

I use and sell 80 grit. A friend of mine who has just completed guitar 1000, uses like 60 grit! So I personally think that 80 grit will keep you happy! Shane |

I use 80 grit... it gets the job done rather quickly but doesnt give too rough of a surface to glue to. |

I find 80 grit to be about as good as you can use. john hall blues creek guitars |

Todd and Hesh...no worries, I wasn't trying to advertise here, just lend my experience. John and Tracy are great vendors and deserve all of the business they get (and more!). I agree with John...80 seems the best of the options for me as well. Shane |
