Sanding Question

Wet sanding leads to a far smoother finish as it effectively increases the grit number of the paper.

I also prefer wet sanding.
Dust doesn't load the paper; the paper lasts longer; water acts as a lubricant of sorts on the plastic and eases the process; and there's not a lot of settled dust to cleanup, or airborne to inhale.

Wet sanding allows for the sandpaper to remain effective for a touch longer as dust does not clog up the paper; it just create a kind of 'mud' that's easy to clear away.

Wet sanding is preffered when you work with resin kits as it keeps the resin particles from ending up in your lungs!.
