I want to remove epoxy nibs and fine sanding lines before finish spray without fear of going through to wood. I've used hand pads, lot of work, don't want to reinjure tennis elbow thing. Plan was to use low speed ROS. I thought 3M owned scotchbrite. Can Abralon pads be extremely unaggressive? I will look and see if my current pads will stick to my ROS

Abralon goes up to 4000 grit - on their scale of course.

I think grit sizes are standard. My years in telescope making talking here. Sizes can be graded from the sieve they pass through down to how long it takes to settle out of solution for the really fine stuff when the sieve sizes get too small to be practicable. The sizes are still based on what sieve the 'would' have passed through.
