I was recently at Turn-on-Chicago and talking with Vince of VincesWoodNWonders.com. He mentioned he had a couple of new products available he thought would be good for folks turning pens, pencils, letter openers and other small projects. The first is 1" strips. Vince told me they are called SIAROL. These strips are cloth backed making them vary durable and tear resistant. You can wet or dry sand with these strips. The grit range is perfect for my use. The grit range includes 80,100,120,150,180,240,320 and 400! Vince said he is offering these strips in 4 yard lengths for only $3.00 or 4 yards each grit for $21.00. A full roll of 50 yards is only $27.00 and if you want 50 yards of all grits he has that priced at $200.00!
The other item Vince told me about is called SIASOFT. This product Vince said was available from 80 to 600 grit and now has been extended to include 800, 1000, 1200 and 1500 grit! Vince explained in the lower grits (80-220) SIASOFT has a cloth foam back again allowing me to sand wet or dry and costs $5.60 a yard. The cloth back material makes it a bit more expensive but still a great deal because it has a very long sanding life. The paper-back version grits are 180,240,320,400 and 600 and costs only $3.65 a yard. The higher version is really nice because it is film backed foam in 800, 1000, 1200 and 1500 grit again only costing $3.65 a yard. Vince sold out of this product at the Chicago symposium as demonstrator Eli Avisera was using it in his demos and was raving about the products! Vince is shipping me these products and I am looking forward to using them. I think sanding with the strips and finishing with the SIASOFT foam products are going to be perfect for working my small projects.I did'nt mean to be so longwinded but when I come across a product that I like, I get a little over-excited,bear in mind I don't work for him Just like his products.
