    Default Can't get Mirror Finish with foam sanding block

    After I finish with 2000grit (going up through the grits of course). Once cleaned it just doesn't look perfect flat in the light. My guess is where the edges of the block run, the long imperfections are. Even though I made sure the strokes were all the same. I just think I need a block that is as wide as the piece I'm sanding. Can someone give examples of pro sanding blocks. Thank you.

    I have never liked the foam blocks. A cork block gives a much more resilient surface for the paper.
