for proper finish. Never skip more than two grits when sanding a floor.
Example:
Do not jump from 36 grit to 80 or 100 grit
Always start your sanding project with the highest possible grit that will cut and level your floor.
If the grit will not cut the finish or level the floor, go down one grit size to complete the cut!
