RE: ROS paper loading up polishing epoxy - shoottmx - 07-04-2020
Thanks guys. Don't have an air sander so turned the speed all the way down on my Bosch ROS. I changed a lot of paper, then polished with rubbing compound. It turned out great with a matte finish. LOML flipped over the appearance and feel of the surface.
Thanks again for the advice. Will post some pics later, g

No matter what grit you use for sanding a finish it is going to load up. One thing you can do to clear it is take the rubber like stick for cleaning belt paper and use it on that to clean it up.
Other then that the only other way is wet sanding with either water or a mineral oil and bees wax mix like a turner does and works good for him.

That said, wet is the best answer if possible. Maybe spray the paper before starting and often, rather than applying it to the work.
What he said
I've had the same problem with sanding pine and slowing ROS down really helped.
