    Shedding sandpaper?...I'll call it

    Is there a brand of sandpaper that's known for not clogging up? Ideally available in sheets. I'm about to be sanding a resin project up to 600 grit and I can see going through some sandpaper if it clogs up easily on this resin. I'll be chilling the piece before sanding to try to combat any heat buildup. Thanks.

    If the resin clogs up sandpaper, it's not cured yet. What sander do you use that requires sheets?

    wet/dry sandpaper washes out the dust with water.

    There are 2 types of Sandpaper Open Coat and Closed Coat. The difference is in the distance between the Grit particles on the paper. Open Coat will shed the sanded dust material easier because of the larger space between the Grit.

    Non loading sandpaper is the term for you to search.
