there are horses for course.wet/dry for wet flatting.
fe-cut for dry rubbing.
so you dont get a muddy scum wet flatting?take a lot of cleaning off,and alway seems to get a few drip in seams that blow out when you dont want them.
both methods has it's pro's and con's.
i'd sooner dry rub myself.
I seem to find that production paper is finer than wet and dry. For example a 320 production paper seems to be equivalent to something like an 800 wet and dry.
Just my take on it.
what are you sanding to need 2000grit?
i think the really fine stuff is da discs only , 3m do trizac and theres also abralon
might end up costly ..plenty of people have got by wet sanding for years and years , would be cheaper with a few sheets of wet n dry lol
Thanks for all the replies! Seems to be a split sort of subject.
For the record i have only ever wet sanded primer on previous smaller jobs, but i would ideally like to dry sand my dads t25 van as i could keep it in the garage and halfway clean.
As i have never dry sanded highbuild could someone outline the best way to do it? i have a large sanding block as well as this orbital sander

if its suitable?
many thanks
that sander is fine.but if you have reasonable compressor why not get a air driven sander? think you will find disks are cheaper for air sander.
