Suggestions For Best Results1. Use a 10,000-12,000 rpm random orbital sander.2. Start the sander while resting flat on the surface and remove the sander before stopping to eliminate swirl marks.3. Each grit needs to pass over the surface following a “North, South, East, West” pattern (see illustration) to insure

that previous scratches are removed and a uniform finish is achieved. Two passes per step is recommended.4. Clean surface after each step to minimize contamination scratches.
