    What's it for? Widely available 40 grit should be adequate for most jobs.

    I need to remove paint from doors, however. The said doors seems to be painted with indestructible paint. I have tried to use a hot air gun on the doors but no luck does not blister, i have tried to use paint stripper that just sat on top, i then tried some p40 that seems to remove or at least dull the paint albeit slowly, very slowly. So i thought 20 grit.m I really do not know what the paint is on the doors, I cannot afford to get them chemically stripped.

    Are you trying to restore the doors to wood or get a decent finish for repainting? If you use 20 grit on wood by the time you've got all the scratches out you'll be able to see through the doors they'll be that thin. It sounds like a water based paint I think as most oil based will respond to heat.

    I would suggest a different type of paint stripper rather than courser sandpaper.

    Sound like a better idea would be to replace the doors.
