You will find the bead dries pretty quick when buffing and so does the fast spinning buffing wheel! It is not necessary to dry your beads before buffing Brenda.

I go directly from wet/dry sanding to buffing and always wonder if I should be letting the item dry well first. I am new to polymer clay and really enjoy your videos! Thank you Cindy,

Make sure your paper is new and that you are sanding to a fine enough grit like 1000 or 1200 grit. Now that I am using Micro-Mesh Pads I almost never get that powder anymore since the pads just 'plane' the surface rather than scratch it.

If you really want to you can go from 120 drywall to 320 drywall then to 320 wet/dry, but you don't have to.
