Yes. I couldn't replicate the claims. I returned it. HOWEVER, many folks love it.

I use it and am happy with it. I sand to 600, use the first two micro mesh, then the Dr Kirks process, followed by Huts Ultra and then Use the Beall buffing wheels

I use it and love it.

Here are some photos. I wet sand through 600, then use Dr. Kirk's.

Good Morning QQuake from Northern California! Love your photos! The wood is exceptional as is the pen. Please help me out with what you are showing. Is the 1st photo after wet sanding with 600 grit? The second after wet sanding with MM1500? The third after wet sanding with MM1800? The 4th after DrKirk's MicroMagic 1? The 5th after DrKirks 2, and the 6th after DrKirks 3?

Again that is a really nice piece of wood!

Thanks,

DrD

First, it's not wood, it's acrylic. I don't use Dr. Kirks on wood, and I rarely use MicroMesh anymore. The first photo is after turning, but before sanding. The second is after wet sanding with 400, 500, and 600 grits. The next three are after all three grades of Dr. Kirks, showing different sides of the blank. The last photo is of the finished pen, of course.

Sorry. I mistook the blank for some type of highly figured wood finished with CA. Funny how one's prejudices can filter what one is seeing. So, unlike keithbyrd, you totally forego the use of MicroMesh. Ok, got it, thanks.

No, I can't tell a difference between using MicroMesh and using just Dr. Kirk's. At least my old eyes can't see any difference.
