Acrylic Finishing Pads

[donstephan]

Does anyone know of a source for full sheets of the acrylic and corian finishing pad kit sold by Berea Hardwood (and probably others). Each of the pads is two sided, and the colors correspond to different grits. I'd love to get an 8.5 x 11 sheet of the 12000 grit for rubbing out varnish on turned wooden bowls.

Try searching for Micro Mesh. But I haven't ever seen an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. Their may be one though, maybe someone else has a better answer.

Here is the company that makes them: Micro-Mesh® Soft Touch Pads - Individual - Soft Touch Pads - Products by Type -MICRO-SURFACE FINISHING PRODUCTS, INC

You might reach out to them to see if you can get 8X12 sheets, otherwise you can get the individual grits in 2X2 or 3X4 inch pads.

Check in with Barry Gross at Arizona Silhouette. The pads at Berea look to be the same as his...different grit on each side. I use them on CA but do not even use the course grit...sometimes not even the two course-est grits.

Good luck on your quest!

I buy the 5 inch circular micro-mesh discs from Lee Valley and cut them into strips. Micro-Mesh® Discs - Lee Valley Tools This way also allows you can order the grit needed.

Didn't realize that Micro-Mesh is available 12K grit - that will work. Thanks everyone!
