but better tooth is not quite accurate. You could scuff with a 3M pad, 1000 grit paper, 0000 steel wool, and all would give proper tooth. I know that a lot of people like to scuff with coarse papers like 320 or 400, but even 0000 steel wool is enough to provide tooth and degloss sufficiently for subsequent coats. -- -Mike-
