yes, the sanded item is ready for finish if you use the corect
sandpaper, 150 grit usually does the trick. Hook and loop mean it is a
velcro type system. as far as the 1/4 sheet, well, i have one too,
sitting on the shelf doing nothing. just can't seem to chuck it.

Now I am wondering what I may be missing. I have a 1/4 sheet finishing
sander (Bosch) and use it occasioanlly on plywood but prefer to hand
sand through all of the grits on hardwoods. I always assumed it was
the lack of airborn dust and being able to hear the radio while I
worked away that kept it on the shelf.
