OK - I'm now a MM believer!

[KKingery]

FINALLY got my MM last night. Used it today while doing my first 2 rollerball pens. The difference in the final finish is fantastic. I am now a believer! (Pics to come later this evening)

Another convert, welcome to the dark side... oh wait, your already here []

Do you have MM sheet or pads? Woodcraft (at least my local store) has MM pads that work real good on acrylics and other resins. Now you see what we all have been talking about. [] Kirk[8D]

I get mine in larger sheets. Cheaper!

Ain't it great to get turned onto good stuff. Now if I can just stop snorten wood dust.

Ken, I don't know where you got your micromesh. The best buy seems to be here http://www.internationalviolin.com They have the individual sheets from 1500 to 12,000 for $4 per 6 x 12 sheet.

That is about what I paid for mine. About the lowest I have found it.

I bought a kit from a company called Micro-Surface. It had all the pads, plus 3 sticks that kinda look like emery boards, a bottle of some type of liquid polisher, a flannel cloth and carry case for about $12.00 - I thought that was a pretty good deal. They have several kits, depending on what you are finishing. I bought the "hobby kit", but they also have a "wood kit" and several others.

If any one wants to order from International Violin, call and have them ship via USPS. It saved me a few bucks!

Presently only using sandpaper, I have heard quite a bit about MM. I will be ordering some soon. Thanks for the tip with USPS Lou.

Lou - I checked out that site, but I could only find MM up to 8000. Did I miss the 12,000 somewhere? (I was looking in the kit section)

Ken... You have to go to the sheet section then pick ea grit.

I used MM for the first time on my Designer pen (in my album). Did everything that was said about MM. But no kidding on pressure control! Almost burned one of my finer one the first go through. Light touch...light touch......not gorrilla action!!

 

[woodscavenger]

Light touch is right. It's not a grit gouge like Fred likes[]
