In Response To: Tools: Dual Action sander question (PatrickC)

: is it true that with the DA sander that 220 grit is same as 400 grit by hand?
: ...80 grit would be like 160 grit by hand...because the DA sander removes its
: on scratches. (sounds like weird logic to me).

: I got the info from the Mako forum(where they rebuild Mako power boats.

: If it's true then i need to account for that when prepping for varnish etc...

It must be the gasoline fumes that magically changes the characteristics of sandpaper
