Question
Why is Norton Red Heat better for sanding off old floor coatings?
Answer
Sanding old coatings can be labor-intensive and require a lot of material, especially if the coatings gum up the paper quickly. Heat and friction cause the old coatings to soften and then stick to the paper.
Norton SG Red Heat can be effective for removing these old coatings since the ceramic grain is super sharp and cuts cooler; so, it doesn’t heat up the finish as much which tends to minimize loading.
