 Seems to me it was 120 but let me check. It's been a while. I did buy small sanding belts and the double sided carpet tape(mesh type) from ACE Hardware.

I would have thought for the initial reduction in overall size (parallel) that a heavier grit like maybe 80 to 100 would work better, then finish it up with a finer grit before the finish goes on.

I've contacted Charlie Jefferson(stringstretcher). He will know the grit. The one we used was the best to use to get good results. You will have to sand some to get the grit marks out. I'll let you know when Charlie gets back to me.

Charlie said he thinks 120 also.  I think the problem with courser grit is the marks it leaves are too deep and hard to get out.

Do a test first to be sure I know what I'm talking about.  ;D
