Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
40 grit rasp paper is the aggressive cut you want for knocking down heavy taping coats and plaster ridges before finishing passes. Wrap the rasp snugly so the paper does not chatter, and tear fresh sections often; dull 40 grit glazes fast on mud. Follow with a medium or fine sheet for the final surface.
Wear a dust mask and eye protection when rasping drywall, and keep cut paper edges away from bare skin.
