Dura-Gold Premium 320 Grit Wet or Dry Sandpaper Sheets, 5-1/2" x 9", Box of 25 - Fine-Cut Sanding, Detailing, Polishing Automotive, Woodworking Wood Furniture, Metal Finishing, Hand Sand Block Sander

I have been using 3M sandpaper for my entire life, as it was understood that it was the best. I will say that in my opinion, nothing compares to 3M. However, for a fraction of the price this is excellent sandpaper. I have been using this for the last year or two for a cost savings and have found that this is very consistent, doesn’t clog, and has a decent useful life. Although it’s not 3M, it is a very good quality sandpaper that any shop could use.

Good paper and works great for wet sanding vehicles

My husband uses this when restoring tractors and loves it. I had him take an interior door to the shop so I could sand it down and I was very impressed with how well it held up. We love how flexible this sand paper is, how smooth of a finish it leaves on both metal and wood.

DuraGold is cheaper than 3M. Works but maybe doesn't last quite as long. I find it a good trade off.

Excellent to use to prep cars before basecoat

Good results from use of this product.

works great

I used to have a large stash of Gator Brand and some 3M carbide paper but needed to re-stock. I have had a hard time finding a good local source for quality carbide paper so decided to give Dura-Gold a try. I have not been disappointed. I use it for sharpening my jointer blades (paper adhered to float glass or my granite surface plate). I also use this stuff a lot for flattening the soles of old hand-planes that I find at flea markets and other similar tasks with steel and cast iron. At first I was bothered by these being half-sheets only, but then realized that I pretty much ALWAYS cut a full 9x11 sheet in half before using anyway. So kind of a moot point. Durability of the abrasive has been good. Grit size is very uniform and it is well adhered to the backing. The paper backing is also of high quality. I use either light oil or mineral spirits as a lubricant. Ok, I am not providing a comprehensive or scientific analysis here. Just a quick opinion from someone who is familiar with how a good abrasive should perform and someone who actually uses it for real work.
