What grade of wet and dry would you recommend to start with?

***Chris,I buy these cheap £ shop packs of wet & dry,get through loads of the stuff,the most useful for the initial sand down is No.80 you can actually use anything quite rough,just ease back on the pressure,a good tip is to have one of those squirty bottles handy,keep the paper surface wet all of the time,you will see a white mulch develope as you progress,thats a good sign,the whole operation is quite theraputic,I usually do all of the sanding first and make myself a kit of parts to take into the workshop to get cracking on,good luck !
