Hot take: I was sanding my filler way too dry for years
Last Tuesday I was working on a rear quarter panel on a 2016 Civic (you know, the usual rust repair) and my coworker Dave walked over and asked why my paper was loading up every 30 seconds. I told him that's just how it goes with 80 grit. He looked at me like I had three heads and handed me a block with some fresh 80 and told me to wet it just a little. I swear to god the difference was insane. The filler cut way smoother and my paper lasted like 4 times longer. All this time I thought dry sanding was faster but I was just burning through pads and leaving deeper scratches. Has anyone else been doing this wrong or am I the only one who never learned this in school?
