I don't have anything in particular I'll need to wet sand soon, but I got to thinking about this today and was just wondering.
I've known some people to spray a given area with a hose, then sand. I've known some to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand. And one guy I know dips the sandpaper in water, then sands. My personal preference is to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand. Just wondering how other guys do it and what could be considered the "best method."

If it's outside and it's warm I'll use a hose. If it's inside and I don't want a river running through the shop I use a bucket and a rag. If it's just a couple little spots I just dip the paper in a bucket here & there. You can use your hand if you're careful about not making high & low stripes with your fingers, if there's any doubt use a foam block. I always sand the bodylines, edges, and depressions first and then do the flats. That will smooth out any ridges that you made while concentrating on the little surface features.
