Different Sanding Pad Densities for Different Projects

The purpose of the different sanding pad densities is to be able to get the scratches and flatten out whatever you are sanding. By starting with the hard pad and working your way down to the soft sanding pad, with correct grits of sandpaper, you can eliminate all bumps and ridges from the resin. To get the finished look that the professional level sanders create, you are looking at using 2 to 3 pads to finish your work.
