I am looking for some documentation on solid surface sanding. Particularly, wet vs dry. I would like to know what the general consensus is on the subject as far as which one is faster. I was under the impression that dry sanding is faster but when working in someones home refurbishing tops the wet is much more cleaner, virtually no dust. Also when a high gloss is desired I feel the wet sanding will produce a much more desireable finish. Anyone have any input on this?

I find that dry sanding with modern electric orbital sanders with dust collection works well for indoor minor repairs. Dust is a minimal problem when you compare the mess of wet sanding indoors. I also find that buffing with compound will produce the ultra high gloss finish people prefer ( until they find out how hard it is to keep it that way! ) and this will make somewhat of a mess as well. I actually use a metal polish on Corian with a foam pad and a buffer and it will shine like glass.
