As long as it is wet the paper stays clean and it is easy sanding.
I am constantly slapping the paper on my jeans in an air stream of the shop fan as I sand bone. Will clog if used excessively.
Stinky stuff!
I was wet sanding it but now I can't remember at what grit or possibly I didn't have enough water?? Im guessing that's my err. I still have not out them on anything been looking at different blades now that I have a bit to choose from ;) thanks
When I am wet sanding scales I set the tap to a fast drip and sand under the faucet.
Hum...I never sanded bone wet. Never made bone scales either! :D
Tom I thought your claim to fame was that inpite of your many restorations that you have never made a single set of scales!
