Many people choose the wheel with leather on the face only and attach sandpaper to the sides with disk cement. Be sure to keep cement off the leather, center bushing, or hole.

A popular combination is two wheels, one with 320 and one with 600 grit wet or dry paper on the sides of each wheel. Then apply a gray (aggressive compound) to one wheel and red (fine compound) to the other.
