Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers refer to with sandpaper?

The numbers on sandpaper refer to its grit. Lower numbers (like 240) indicate a coarser grit for more aggressive material removal, while higher numbers (like 2500) are finer grits used for polishing and achieving a smooth finish.

What sandpaper do I need to achieve a mirror finish on gold and silver jewellery?

To achieve a mirror finish on gold and silver, start with a low grit (around 400) and progressively move to finer grits (up to 2500 / 3000). The gradual transition through the grits removes scratches and polishes the surface to a high shine.

For a high polish mirror finish, use polishing compounds and polishing cloths / buffs to give the metals surface to a glossy lustre.

Which grit do I use to sand down gemstones?

For sanding gemstones follow the same practice as with metals - it's recommended to start with a coarser grit (around 400) for shaping and then progressively use finer grits (up to 3000) for smoothing and polishing the stone's surface.
