sandpaper
(redirected from Sand-paper)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.26 sec.
sandpaper, abrasive originally made by gluing grains of sand to heavy paper sheets.

It is used for smoothing and polishing, for removing old paint or varnish, and for otherwise preparing wood surfaces for refinishing or other treatment.
