Spend less time sanding and reduce airborne dust in your workshop with Superior Grit Original abrasive paste. Made in Canada, this hand-blended mixture of mineral oil, beeswax and abrasive powders works like liquid sandpaper, giving woodturners a cleaner way to achieve a beautifully smooth surface.
Instead of working through multiple grades of fine sandpaper, you can stop traditional sanding at approximately 220 grit and use Superior Grit Original to achieve a surface comparable to a 1,000-grit finish. The paste provides a virtually dust-free final sanding process, helping reduce the amount of fine airborne wood dust generated while working at the lathe.
What is abrasive paste?
Superior Grit Original is a polishing and sanding paste formulated specifically for woodturning. Its combination of mineral oil, beeswax and fine abrasives helps smooth the wood surface and reduce minor sanding marks. It gets its name from Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes.
How do I use Superior Grit Original?
Superior Grit Original abrasive paste is designed to produce a surface comparable to sanding with 1,000-grit sandpaper, without having to work through all the intermediate grits, simplifying the final sanding stage of your woodturning projects.
Sand your turning using conventional sandpaper, stopping at approximately 220 grit.
Apply Superior Grit Original abrasive paste to the wood surface.
Work the paste into the surface to refine and smooth the wood.
Once the abrasive polishing step is complete, apply your preferred wood finish.
What are the benefits of using Superior Grit Original?
Superior Grit Original makes the final sanding process faster, cleaner and easier. By allowing you to stop conventional sanding at approximately 220 grit, it eliminates the need to work through multiple finer grits while producing a surface comparable to a 1,000-grit finish. The paste provides a virtually dust-free final sanding process, helping reduce fine airborne wood dust and keeping your workshop cleaner. It also smooths minor sanding marks and blemishes, leaving your turning with a smooth, polished surface ready for your preferred finish.
Does Superior Grit Original eliminate sanding dust?
Superior Grit Original provides a virtually dust-free alternative to conventional fine sanding. Because the abrasive particles are suspended in a paste, the final sanding process generates much less airborne dust than dry sanding. You'll still generate wood shavings and potentially dust during turning and the initial sanding stages, but using Superior Grit Original after 220-grit sanding can significantly reduce the amount of fine dust produced during the final stages of your project.
What projects can I use Superior Grit Original on?
Superior Grit Original is suitable for a variety of woodturning projects, including bowls, platters, spindle turnings and other turned wooden pieces. It is intended for use on wood as the final abrasive step before applying your chosen finish.
