Use Tip: 36 grit is the standard first pass for stripping most residential hardwood floors. Change sheets often when stripping -- loaded grit burnishes and stops cutting.
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.
