Sand paper

Sandpaper is made of mineral abrasives that remove layers from surfaces -- usually wood and metal -- to help paint or other sealants adhere better. Sandpaper comes in different "grits," or levels of abrasiveness.

Sandpaper grit is what makes it abrasive. Manufacturers grade sandpaper based on the size of the grit, and the grade you need depends on the job.
