Default What's "scuff sanding"?

A clean, new scotch brite pad works beautifully for "scuffing"

That's it -- just a light sanding to "scuff up" the surface slightly to
provide a good surface for bonding...80 to 100 grit good choice.

I'd use 240 grit,80-100 will leave visible scratches,may even take off the
primer.

Correct.
