Heard a guy at the hardware store in Tacoma say he sands with the grain 'most of the time'
I was grabbing some 220 grit paper and this older guy was telling his buddy he only sands against the grain on the final pass to knock off the nibs. I've always been taught to never, ever go against the grain at any stage. It made me stop and think about how many rules we follow without testing them. Has anyone else tried a final cross-grain pass on a sealed coat and had it work out?
