Hi,

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


a 240 grit or finer... some 400 grit wet'n'dry usually works nicely for
ne-nibbing.

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 ?


You don't need it in the sense of needing the wet use ability, but
sometimes its easier to find very fine papers in that form.


The decorators rolls from SF are good value for applications where the
paper is going to clog before the abrasive wears out. IME this includes
most surfaces, not just painted ones.
