Granat was developed specifically to perform effectively in these demanding applications. Its special coating helps reduce clogging, allowing more of the abrasive surface to remain active and extending useful sanding life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhat does P40 mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eP40 identifies a coarse abrasive grit. The relatively large abrasive particles remove material rapidly and are therefore best suited to initial sanding, levelling, stripping and other applications where aggressive material removal is more important than producing the final surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhy use a sanding grit sequence?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eA coarse abrasive such as P40 removes material efficiently but leaves a correspondingly coarse sanding pattern. For a finer finished surface, follow P40 with progressively finer abrasive grades appropriate to the material and coating system. Avoid excessively large jumps between grit sizes, as this can make it difficult for the next abrasive to remove the scratches produced by the previous sanding stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eFestool StickFix\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eStickFix is Festool's hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. The abrasive sheet presses directly onto the compatible sanding pad and can be removed again without clamps or separate adhesive. This makes it fast to replace worn sheets or move between grit grades during a multi-stage sanding process.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eParticularly useful for professional finishing work\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eGranat is designed for the types of demanding materials commonly encountered by painters, varnishers, drywall installers and joiners. Its ability to work effectively on coating systems, fillers and hard substrates makes it a highly versatile abrasive for both preparation and finishing workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse P40 where substantial material removal is required rather than trying to force a finer abrasive to perform heavy stock removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAfter coarse sanding, move through progressively finer Granat grits until the surface quality required for the next coating or finishing stage is achieved.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eMake sure the abrasive sheet is positioned squarely on the sanding pad so the full sanding surface is properly supported.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse effective dust extraction wherever possible.
