Default Help please sanding staircase - sanding disc grades?

Or if you really want it to shine after taking it to 400 grit and finishing
with laquer, use the micro mesh pads on your RO sander. Cuts the need for
rooton stone entirely. Great stuff, wash it in the pocket of your jeans and
hang it up to dry and it's as good as new.

For a (varnished) railing you probably can stop at 180 or 200. (Fine
furniture would go higher ... much higher.) Make the last strokes in the
direction of the grain. For paint, most likely 120 grit is more than good
enough.
