I remember talking to a friend of mine who does auto paint jobs and

find any 2000-ish grit for his final inspection wet sanding, he'll just
grab some printer paper.


I used it again today, to knock the dust off of the spray satin topcoat
I put over the dye.
Was faster than a synthetic buffing pad I normally use.

One of my guys used to, and I emphasize 'used to' clean his glasses
with paper shop towels. Scratched the ****e out of the coating on his
polycarbonate lenses. Paper is fibre. Fibres have 'ends' on
them...those are scratchy. Do not use TP to blow your nose for any
extended period of time during a cold, you'll end up looking like WC

Pulp paper is made from wood, rag paper is made from
cloth. Pulp paper is going to scratch a LOT more than
100% rag, as my test on shellac with a sheet of printer
paper bore out last night. Use it for smoothing anything
short of the final glaze coat on French polish.
