Sandpaper

Looking for sandpaper of 320/400 grit for finishing project but so much choice. Can anyone make some recommendations on type to use and where i can purchase from?

Not sandpaper, but abrasive mesh. Abranet from Classic Hand Tools is just superb stuff.

If this is for de-nibbing or 'cutting back' in between coats then, I highly recommend this stuff from Axminster. As long as you let the finish dry properly, it won't clog and it will outlast any aluminium oxide and standard silicon carbide (wet & dry) abrasives that I've used. You should also find it's good enough for general wood sanding as well.

I've just bought some of that in 400 grit, good stuff!
