Don't expect the work to go as quickly as with a wet belt sander or flat lap. Working with hand pads is usually time-consuming, but it also affords a feel and an intimacy with the glass that's not usually possible with more elaborate tools
As with most grinding and polishing operations, you will use various coarse and fine grits. To make this job easier, diamond strips are color-coded
Rough grinding and polishing work often starts with 70 grit, then proceeds to 120, 220, and 400
Usually, 600 grit is about as fine as people use with hand pads on the glass; this won't leave a highly polished surface, but it will leave a nice satin sheen
Regardless of the grit you're using, be very cautious if you're working close to areas that you don't want to work with the hand pads
The pads will quickly scratch shiny surfaces
Perfect for abrading glass, fiberglass, and composites
Invaluable for seaming and edging
