Question 7

Answer 7

Wet sanding is the process of using an abrasive with water or another liquid to sand down a material. The water or other liquid helps remove any grit particles from the sandpaper left over from dry sanding to ensure a smooth and glossy finish.

Question 8

What are the steps of wet sanding?

Answer 8

1. Begin by smoothing out the edges of your acrylic with 180 grit sandpaper and wet sand the edges. Rinse your sandpaper as needed to stop it clogging up. As the edges level and smooth move onto the sandpaper with the grit of 320 - 360 to give a more polished finish.
2. Finish off smoothing the acrylic edges with the fine 600 grit sandpaper. Your acrylic should start showing smooth polished edges.

Question 9

How do you sand and finish off acrylic?

Answer 9

• Do not remove the paper covering on the acrylic until you have cut and fully sanded the piece.
• Use wet sandpaper for finishing or smoothing acrylic edges. Normally 180-320 grit (in other words, very fine) “wet or dry” paper is used along with plenty of water in a container. If done by hand, use a sanding block to keep the edges even.
• When you are sanding your piece you must wear a mask and work in a ventilated area.
