Hi,
I'm about to rub out a large table to gloss (flat surfaces only) that has a Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. I have the 3M perfect-it compounds (I have used these on automotive) but I need the 400,1000, 2000 grits or similar.
Of course 3M has a system of 6" hookit pads in 1500 to 5000 grit but it will cost 100's of dollars for just a few pads and the backers. I think these are optimized for curved surfaces.
Should I just use wet/dry sheet paper with a sanding block, a 6" RO sander or I also have a half sheet RO sander?
I have never useds the half sheet RO with very fine paper but it does a great job flattening bare wood.
I have the standard rubber sanding block which does not work too well dry (it corns a lot even with 3M gold paper).
I think the starting 3M compound is really only effective after 5000 grit abrasives so that may be an issue also.
Needless to say, a Stuhr sander is not really an option.
Thanks
