Wet Sanding
An important part of the painting process is sanding. Wet sanding means we use water at the same time as sandpaper. This is a really good technique after many layers of varnish are applied and you want a really deep varnished finish. Decoupage artists use this technique for their work when they donīt cheat and use two part pour-on resin varnishes. French polishers and fine furniture makers use the wet sanding techniques for that lovely deep colour and shine. So do car body repairers. The water assists in the process of sanding by lubricating between the surface and the sandpaper. The end result is sanding without scratching. There is special sand paper for this technique so be sure to be using wet and dry type sandpaper.
Wet Sanding
Try adding a few drops of detergent to the water when wet sanding. This helps with lubrication.
