Use Tip: 80 grit is the last pass before stain or seal on most residential floors. Vacuum thoroughly and wipe with a tack cloth before finish -- any dust in the pores will telegraph through the topcoat.
Care Tip: Keep the peel-off backing dry until you're ready to apply -- moisture weakens the adhesive. Between grit changes, blow dust off the sander pad so the next sheet seats flat and doesn't tear at the corners.
