You&#8217;ll likely have success finding these specialty sandpapers at your local Walmart or other big box stores as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Look for wet-dry sandpaper ranging in grits from 120 (coarse) up to 1200 (fine). It&#8217;s usually black or grey but sometimes is a very dark green as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It&#8217;s called &#8220;wet-dry&#8221; because you actually get this sandpaper wet before using it on your polymer clay beads. Please note that the orangey or brown colored sandpaper used in woodworking and furniture refinishing, is a much different product that is NOT a good choice for polymer clay bead making projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\"
