Wet Sanding

[ranshee]

Was just wondering how to wet sand? I am getting to my final sanding coat on my crank case. My guess would be to use some water and really fine sand paper. But how much water. Anybody have any hints?

Im not experienced with this but i would say that you just get it wet and sand it.

I'll add it here, just for the hell of it.

 

Ranshee, the purpose of wet sanding, is to unclog the sand paper so you don't get a "wad" of aluminum dust breaking loose from the paper, and scratching the aluminum deeply. You want enough water to be able to keep the paper clear. It also helps with the longevity of the sand paper so you don't go through 1000 sheets of it.
