Hi,

What grade is recoomended for sanding down between coats of
undercloat/primer ?

I rubbed down some door frames with 80 grit and have used some all in one
primer/undercoat and was just wondering what grit would be suitable to give
it a gentle down down before glossing ?

Or do I need wet and dry ?


80g was to course for the wood, you should have gone to 180-220,
unless the primer is a sandable type you will have to wait a long time
for it to cure hard enough and not clog paper and then it should be
220g if you are using oil as a finish, if its latex probably non is
really necessary since latex dries to fast any way. You gove no
mention of what products you are using, a real paint store would get
you what you need
