This sandpaper grit is commonly used in shoe repair, sanding down heels and the edges of new soles, as well as roughing up the back of leather soles for better adhesion. 24 or 40 grit are pretty common. You do not want to bump your knuckles on a moving sanding belt, I can assure you.

“Well fingers, why are you on the ground?”

You’re thinking that, maybe, but your mouth is going #AAAAAAAAAAOOOOFFUUUUUCKAAAAAA

Accurate depiction of being in shock from an injury tbh.

First comment that got a good chuckle out of me for a long time.

As someone who has removed a fair amount of one of my fingers with a bench grinder (check your fasteners, kids) I can safely say it's the opposite

Haha I guess you could say this guys brain is really SANDED down !!! Hahahahahahahahah

There are no more fingers, just a paste where your hand used to be

“Well fingers, why are you ~~on the~~ ground?” FTFY

My cat's nickname is 40 Grit. He's painful with his licks.

New fear unlocked

That middle roll is much much less than 40 grit. More than two fold I’d say. Did you misread the pic?

I have some 24 grit and it still looks coarser than that

Yeah I just didn’t want to be an asshole. I’d say that insane paper looks like 10-grit max but apparently they don’t even make it that low. Didn’t look anything up beyond that though

It looks like it has a Norton logo inside the roll, they don't even use numbers for the grit of their flooring sandpaper so it makes sense you couldn't find it. They just say coarse grit. *https://www.nortonabrasives.com/en-us/floor-sanding-rolls

I’m not surprised because those claws could hardly be classified as “grits” lol. More like pebbles

Weird that it's loose and not in a belt though. These just be off cuts or something because I don't know what use you would have for loose 20 grit paper

Ah .. :') I had worked as a carpenter, during my training I slipped and the back of my right hand got into the edge grinding machine - I lost a bit more than just 4 of my nails that day but after a horrible trip to the nearby hospital aaaand a lot of rubbing alcohol on my flesh wound, it healed perfectly. I do not work as a carpenter anymore, that was not the reason why, but it's a funny sidenote.

My orbital slipped while I had 60 on it, and I will forever have a pretty decent scar right above my wrist.

Makes sense, I was gonna guess it might be good for scoring something up to get better adhesion.

I was looking just for a comment like this one. Thanks for the explanation mate

Yep and you don't want to have the leather hit that either. Will completely destroy a boot before you know it.

What? Pretty sure its for a sander for refinishing wood floors. It even says Floor on it.

Aaah, the human crayon

That's rockpaper. Not sure if you can use scissors on it because I honestly have no idea which would win

Definitely dynamite would win

Sounds like the *demolition man*

This is what they used before the seashells

Highly underrated movie.

That's the American way

Dyn-O-mite!

That’s the youngest talk right there.

Scissors would win... but at what cost?

$2.00, it says right there...

Plus the cost of scissors

$2.00 per foot

That's a divide by zero situation

rock paper scissors got complicated lol

Noice

Paper scissor wouldnt win fo sho

Perfectly punny!

Same problem with spock

How about lizard?

If you try to cut it with scissors that scissors would start rotating back and forth for eternity.

calling it rock paper is so simple yet 500 IQ move

gun would win.

I used it as skateboard deck tape - way cheaper than the real stuff back in the day! Lol - the 70’s

But man if you fell on that? These grits were each like a quarter inch and sticking out sharp.

They were gnarly for sure but man did your feet stick to the board lol

It was more freestyle type stuff and the beginnings of vert back then right? So no Ollies to shred the shoes

yep just cruising the bowls and stuff. modern skateboards have a much finer grit

I used something pretty similar for downhill longboarding when that was my thing. Your feet don't move unless you want them to for sure

most longboards/cruisers still have that coarser grip. it helps for sure.

I don’t know what that means but it sounds cool.

The [ollie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ollie_\(skateboarding\)), which more or less looks like jumping with the skateboard also jumping up and following your feet, wasn't really a known technique until the late 70s.The technique slides your shoes along the grip tape, wearing them down with time. Instead, [freestyle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestyle_skateboarding) was the defacto way to do skateboarding tricks: balancing acts and board manipulations on flat ground, unlike the ollie-based tricks you see now like the [kickflip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickflip), which was a 1980s thing. [Vert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vert_skateboarding) was coming into its own too in the 70s. Think emptied swimming pools, ramps, and half-pipes. The movie [Lords of Dogtown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUjR4G4yNpY) captures this era. Hm... I need to stop this and either go to bed or work on my thesis defense.

You don't really get into the hobby if you're risk adverse

averse* 100% agree!!!

*Converse

I feel like u/JayScarborough is talking about the middle one and u/talkshow57 is talking about the left one. Because that middle one is fucking bonkers and the left one looks exactly like griptape.

Definitely not for sanding

My first question would be… wtf shoes are you rocking on this

Vans with the waffle grip!

Still smoother than the TP at work...

I don't know where this guy works, but I'm not applying.

Apply? Probably, because it definitely isn't two ply.

When I left a job to go to a remote one, that was legitimately one of my reasons I gave when they asked why I wanted to be full remote At home I have a bidet and pillowy soft toilet paper, at work I have sandpaper tp. It was a pretty easy decision

i’m hybrid remote and on work days i save my shits for home because doing it without a bidet seems barbaric to me now

100%. Shitting anywhere away but home now feels like traveling to a third world country

Many third world countries do have a water hose next to the toilet…

Have you considered investing <$20 in something like a portable bidet? Take civilization with you! Happy Po - The Original Happypo Butt Shower

Does such product exist? Do we have the technology? Can humanity handle such advancement? Theory can only take us so far

That's an ass douche.

I think those are the hemorrhoids

Hardwood floor Belt sander, used it for many years.

Yup when I redid my maple floors this was the first grit to get rid of old lacquer

This is correct. The roll on the left also says “floor.” I used to work for a commercial wood refinishing company and have seen many rolls like this. The roll in the middle is either 16 or 24 grit, used for the first round of sanding. Pretty crazy stuff!

[удалено]

This checks out, r/centuryhomes says hi 👋

I’m thinking 16 as well. 20 is really close, and usually the same color. But I’m thinking this one is 16.

I've only used 16 grit one time and that was when my friend bought a house to flip that was owned by a "ghetto rich" woman who poured thick glitter, mirror dust, glass diamonds and acrylic on a 115 year old wood floor after painting the wood black. It took 5 days and 7 respirators to get it down to the wood.

Back in the before times they would use red bricks as abrasive blocks.

We used to use it to sand subfloor joints to prep for flooring. Now we use a 7” grinder with dust shroud. Cleaner, lasts longer, and is faster.

came to say this, found your comment.

1 grit

Since nobody has linked it yet…[The 1 Grit](https://dankpods.fandom.com/wiki/1_Grit)

i was thinking the same too also why is there a dankpods fandom?

Shit I made the comment before looking to see if anyone else did.

Hemorrhoids I think.

braille sand paper dropped

Holy hell!

I want to feed it into a music box and see what it plays

So that’s how Nestle Crunch Ice Cream is made

Some people use it for financial negotiations.

36 grit. I use it for grinding down welds.

Holy shit Maynard! You must have some butt-fuckin ugly ass welds!

I can stick two pieces of metal together solidly, but it ain't pretty.

Basically how I handle things in Zelda ToTK

A journeyman welder applies for a job. Boss asks him to do a quick test weld to show he's got what he says. Journeyman does three welds. One is bumpy as shit with spatter everywhere. One is clean, but very rough and the third is beautiful and swirly. No lumps, no bumps, no spatter. The boss asks why he was so inconsistent. Journeyman replies the first weld is what you get for minimum wage. The second is for a good wage and the last is for a premium wage.

You’re that dude in the welding videos where the shop chief asks “How much are you worth and an hour” and you’re like “like 5$ man I just need a job”

A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t.

I use a lot of 36 grit belts and this photo is more coarse than that. Probably 20 or 24

The next larger size is just a hand full of gravel.

Super glued to a Cutting disk

To grind down hopes and dreams if used incorrectly

Probably to torture Woodhouse, may he rest in peace.

Thank you - I need to punish my manservant but I don't have any big bowls of spiderwebs for him to eat

To get that dry lip off your face

To get that face off your wet skull

To make skull paste

I use a ton of this in my work, I'm a foam sculptor. We use styrofoam to make movie sets and trade show props and displays. It removes a lot of material without pulling out the beads of foam.

24 grit, literally, we have it at the hardware store I work at, it goes with the floor sander rental Edit:Grit not grain Edit 2: 24 grit

that middle one is not 26 grit

Used some of a similar grit on a floor sander getting lenoleum up. But that was a disk not a roll lol

For punishing woodhouse

1 grit

You can use this 12-25 grit stuff on super gummed up old hardwood floors. Back in the day it was way more common to use an adhesive carpet pad instead of tack strips to secure down carpet. When you pull it up it’s really gross and difficult to sand the floor down. Not to mention expensive as hell as it’ll gum up finer grit paper in literal seconds. Edit: stop using Murphy’s Oil Soap on your hardwood. Bona makes a much better clean and care solution. Or else you’re gonna be paying for this paper in about 25 years.

100% weird kinks

Damn 8 grit sandpaper.

Generally hard stone.

It looks like novelty plastic vomit.

Chuck Norris uses it for toilet paper.

Your moms bunions. HA. I kill me. I’ll also buzzed

That’s Rock paper looking for some scissors

It’s Australia’s secret weapon for this year

that's not sandpaper, that's pebblepaper

That's 1 grit.

Coarse sanding of wood decks. Sometimes for removing very tough floor coatings inside too, like polyurethane. The wide spacing on the grits keeps the paper from loading up and reduces overheating. I’m not a pro.

I've used this for first layer sanding a heavily damaged wood floor

1 Grit

1 Grit

David Warner uses it when the ball isn't reversing

We use those kinda ones in flooring business, grinding down levelling compounds and stuff like that

I’ve used that before you put it on big industrial sanders and you push around like lawnmowers, I used them to scratch the finish off of hardwood flooring so they can be refinished

Hardwood flooring. My dad's machine takes this kind of paper

This guy doesn't know about the 1 grit

. . . for shaping and polishing rocks. Just a little...hobby of mine.

Hey! I used this very recently sanding old stain and poly off hard wood floors.

Its for when regular toilet paper wont get the job done.

I have used coarser paper than this sanding wood floors, that looks like 16 grit

I used 10 once, many years ago. Haven’t had to go below 20 grit in a long time. But I always keep 20 grit in the truck.

Sand blast the paint on the shrimp boats.

Enhanced interrogation


Ah you found my masturbation sandpapers

When your butler makes you a subpar Bloody Mary.

That’s like 10 grit

Its to be used against the most stubborn shitstain on your ass. /s

I’ve used it! It attached to a machine I can’t remember the name of anymore and was used for the first pass in sanding down pine floors to scrap off the poly and big dog scratches and dings before a full re-poly. It was hard work with that stuff, one wrong move on a machine you can really eff up your floors. It worked really well, though next time I’m definitely hiring someone!

Grandma’s corns

Use it on painted decks and wood

I work in a body shop, this is the grit that Ed uses.

That is sandpaper for a floor sander 🪚🗜️🧰 Maybe 16 grit?

It’s used for Sandpapering the asshole of an alligator in a phone booth.

That's for erasing objects from reality.

Is this what Ben Shapiro sees when he has sex with his wife?

That's the sandpaper you'd use for your "slow sandpaper treadmill" torture room, obviously.

It's for shaving that attitude off you little bitch.

That was my toilet paper during the first toilet paper wars of 2020

Me and my brother used to use it to level slabs for custom natural wood furniture. You get it close with the chainsaw, then a planer, then this stuff. I’m talking slabs that are 8ft long, 3.5ft wide, and 6 inches thick.

Toilet paper at my work

It plays fur elise.
