thank you, new to clay,,,didnt know how,,,books are kinda vague sometimes.
Thank you. Now I need to locate a source for the finer grits of sandpaper. All I can find is up to 400.
Hi there!
Just wanted to let you know that at The Clay Store we are adding several varieties of the very fine grit sandpaper. We’ve just received them and should have them available on the site by this weekend (09/16/06).

I’ve had luck finding the higher grade grits at Walmart in the automotive section. If not there, call around to auto parts stores. According to my husband the higher grits are commonly used in the auto industry.
Try using a nail file to polish clay. You can buy from the toughest grit to buffing nail files. They’re small and easy to handle. You could even cut them in half if you want!! Thank you for your tips and good luck!
Try an Auto Body Paint shop for the very fine grit sand paper
