Micro Mesh pads question

[cowchaser]

I was looking on woodturningz and was looking at the acrylic finishing pads. They have a finishing plastic kit that are 2x2 and also micro mesh pads that are 3x4. Of course there is a difference in price, but are they both micro mesh. The 2x2 says "same abrasive" and of course the micro mesh says they are micro mesh. Any help is appreciated. Which one would you recommend if you have used them?

I have both MM sets, first the small 2x2 pads, and then I got the 3x4 pads, use them both, love them both.

I do remember that Woodturningz had a special one period this year where they sold all the MM sets they had for one price. I should have done that.
There is also a separate set of plastic polishing pads, different colors, I have been meaning to purchase a set of those, maybe my next buy, I know that Barry Gross recommends those on his website.

I have both but use the pads only on synthetics, which, for me, is very rarely. I never use the two coarsest grits of the pads as they scratch too deeply to get out with rest of finer grits.

I bought the 3x4 pads and cut them in two 3x2 sets.

Now I always have at least one clean set.

You might look at http://woodnwhimsies.com/ they have some pretty cheap MM. They have 3x6 sheets for $11.95.
