Micromesh info reqd please!

[bob flemming]

Hi,

After a bit of research on here, I see that many people like micromesh for polishing. Please can you tell me where you get it from and what you buy? I had a quick look here Sylmasta Ltd Micro-Mesh Abrasives and they have sticks, liquid, pads etc. and I'm not sure what to get!

Thanks,

Bob

I use these:

MICRO MESH / MICROMESH POLISHING KIT 9 SHEETS 6" X 4" on eBay (end time 17-Mar-10 21:28:09 GMT)

Nice seller, and very good value. I prefer the sheets to the pads. The sticks are useful too, but it's easy enough to wrap your own.

I've just bought this pack from the above seller and can highly recommend it.

are these cloths? or is it sandpaper?

[mizgeorge]

They're an abrasive (like wet and dry paper) but on a fabric rather than paper backing, so more flexible, very easy to rinse, and go to much finer grades.

[Milomade]

do they last? or wear down as quickly as sand paper?

[mizgeorge]

Much more durable than wet and dry.

excellent - will give those a go - thanks for the info.

Thanks very much George. Those ones have been sold on Ebay - Milomade, was it you? - but I will keep an eye out for some more.
