Best sandpaper for Southern Yellow Pine

[courtneych]

I find that southern yellow pine quickly gums up my sandpapers. Now that I have purchased a Festool sander, I'm wondering which sandpaper (Rubin, Brilliant, or Granat) would gum up least when prepping bare pine at 80-180 grits. I'm guessing that Granat would do best since it is stearated, but hopefully someone here can speak from experience.

Thanks,

Charlie

Granat seems to clog the least for me on pine. Rubin would be my 2nd choice, and I like Brilliant for between coats of finish.

I use a lot of knotty white pine. I was clogging half a dozen Rubin to one Granat when I finally tried Granat.

Granat has proven to work best for us since it came to the USA back in 2011.

This worked out swell for us, since each year our volume of pine cabinets has increased.
