If you're using sand cloth to polish a gun part, the tiny scratches left by the sand cloth ARE the grain.
Usually, you want the tiny scratches all running in the same direction. As example, on a slide you want the tiny scratches running lengthwise of the slide. The finer the grit of polishing material, the finer the grain. |
