i see some woodworking shows and various magazine articles where they
are either using a jig or building one such as the fence on a miter gauge
and they have an adhesive backed piece of sandpaper attached. its on
there to help keep the wood from slipping and moving and the paper is
always white(ish) so i assume its around 180 - 220 grit?
can anyone please tell me what is the best all around grit to use for a jig?
i also see a lot of places sell a 150 grit too?
also, what does everyone use for double sided tape? i see articles talk
about carpet tape and the stuff i bought i have to 'dirty' it up with my fingers
before using it or its so sticky i cant pull the boards apart and its kind of
thick spongy stuff? the tape i see in magazines and wood shows looks
really thin?
thanks for any help
