While I agree with this, consider that the sandpaper may be contaminated from the manufacturing process. I wear cotton gloves and finish up with a piece of well used paper on the theory that most of the contamination has been transferred to the early cuttings (dust particles). While 40-80 grit may be acceptable for the thick edge of molded parts it is way too coarse for midpart attachments where there may be only 2 plies between you and the core material. I suggest something in the 180-220 range.
