I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but I gotta know the answer or at least something close. When wetsanding a panel, how does one know when to go to the next grit of paper. Usually I start with 1000 and sand till the op is gone. Then 1500,2000,2500,3000. Call me crazy but I gotta do it. Here's the issue...I don't know when to stop. Is there some sort of rule of thumb on this..say 50 strokes is enough to get you to the next level? I always feel like I'm going too far and cutting too much and end up into the basecoat. I sand too much with each grit I think, and in the process I'm taking more off than I should be. I'm sure all you guys have your own way of doing it, and I'm sure there's no real textbook answer here, But I sure could use a few suggestions on how I might do this better. As always I appreciate any and all input. Thanks Frank
