Which anti clog abrasive paper do you use?

[rcx132]

I thought I'd try my current project without using any spray filler, so low spots got extra epoxy primer and now I'm trying to flat back. But the epoxy primer is really clogging up the paper. Any recommendations on a 240 and 320 grit that reduces clogging, or any other tricks?

I've been using Abranet. It's more expensive but it's very open construction, so doesn't tend to clog. The upside is , it lasts a lot longer.

Epoxy doesnt sand well for at least a week if you are just drying/curing at normal temps, well thats what i find.

Mira yellow sheets or Abranet for me. both last a fair while

Mirka is my choice too

if your using on a da sander run a plastic block or a screwed up poll;y bag over it and it cleans them off

Abranet every time, but that isn't the problem. Epoxy primer takes a few days to cure, low temperatures take longer. Pilling is caused by the surface not being fully cured, so leave it another day or two.

Thanks, another day has passed and it's sanding much better. I ordered some mesh abrasive for £5, will see how that works.
