Peter, the micromesh grades are not measured on the same scale as “normal” sandpaper. The 1500 grade is the same as about 500 grit so you are sanding to 1000 grit and then going all the way back down to 500 and starting again. Somewhere here in the archives I posted the comparable grits/grades a long while back.
