: When I sanded my epoxy, I found that better sandpaper, though more expensive,
: clogged far less and ended up a better value. I used Norton sandpaper I
: bought at a Rockler store. The cheap stuff from the dollar store was
: worthless. Sanding to me is a fairly miserable job, the better sandpaper
: stays sharper and made the job go much more quickly.
: Also, as mentioned, hit all the lumps and feather the seams with some sort of
: scraper while the epoxy is still rubbery, that saves much sanding later.

I agree with Norton sand paper, great stuff, Home Depot is now selling it btw at a discount.
