in "some" of my wood work, I have sanded all the way to 2000 grit, I will add, that I was working with Spaulted Maple, and I had filled the pores with an extremely thin viscosity CA, to hold the piece TOGETHER, they were off cuttings, that ended up Nigh On about 0.040-0.050 Thousands thick, dimension 1~inch × 7~ inches, for Bible Bookmarkers; held up to a light, one was able to SEE through these Plastic with Wood items of Art.

With GOOD EYES, the pores versus solid woods were like a stained glass window, variating colors of NATURE, retained by Science ! ! !

I add this in here not as a "Myth Buster", for I have many Tens of Thousands of Square Feet in finishing Hardwood Floors, One Winery "tasting room" alone, was 7,000 Square feet, & sanding, as you stated ended at 220 grit.

That floor, along with approximently 40% of all Floors we finished was done using a "Basic Coatings" Water Borne Poly Eurathane finish: Basic Coatings DEVELOPED the concept of Water Borne Poly Eurathane; their Main customer base was Pro Basket Ball Companies, as the VOC'S Were non-existant!

The Company Salesman who TAUGHT our company in proper use, had Just arrived from finishing the LA LAKERS Collesium [sp] and they played on his morning job, That Night!

STREET SHOE was the product name, I am writing here without my first cuppa coffee ( ! ! ! ).

Street Shoe "could be" used in two manners: with OR without catalist, depending upon user application needing Speedy recoat Time, or come back the next day . . . Uhh, if I recall correctly, the First coat to Bare Wood was ALWAYS w/o catalist, as the product needed to seep into the floors top layer of wood, versus just "laying on top" of the wood.

A very remarkable product.

When I went out on my "own", having left the area to move North, I continued flooring, my last Gallon of Street Shoe cost $100 a Gallon, and I did not buy their Catslist, one that was in the product, there was a *time line* until it was no longer good to use, @ that price I did Five House (one was actually a museum) and ALL customers were estatic at a Product non wood workers new about!

I even finished the Desk of the Librarian in Florence, Oregon, to make it harder than a typical ~soft~ Hard Wood top!
