Wet Sanding Questions

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am doing my first wet sanding of the boat since owning it for a month.  I would say light to medium oxidation but otherwise the gel coat is good.

My main question is how good should it be after just wet sanding?  I have done one side and it shines but it is still "cloudy" underneath the shine..  (I might be on the over critical side when looking at it).  I just don't know how it should be before proceeding.

.  I plan to compound, Polish, and Wax next.

Any tips are appreciated.

	One more thing. How do I know when to change to a new sheet of sand paper?
