wet-sand
Dampened coastal particles
Wet-sand refers to sanding a surface with water as a lubricant, typically using very fine-grit sandpaper.
The technique produces a smoother finish than dry sanding and reduces airborne dust.
Common in auto body work and woodworking: I wet-sanded the clear coat to remove orange peel before buffing.
The noun wet sand is simply sand saturated with water, as found near the waterline on a beach.
