Title: I found Scotch Bright Pads pretty cheap
Post by: REvans284 on December 31, 2007, 07:59:50 AM: Similar to the thread about finding cheap abrolon pads online

(www.supergrit.com for those that didnt catch it at $2.50 a piece)

I found Grey, Maroon, and White SB pads for $1.00 online a piece... Granted it will probably cost more to ship then for them themselves, for some people they are hard to find.

Scroll down, and you will see them. The Maroon pad is listed as a 3M Scuffing pad, but I'm pretty sure its close to the same grit.

Later,

Many places sell packs of 20 Scotch-Brite Pads for $20 plus the same $7-8 shipping. That's why it's better to split a pack with 2 or 3 friends or keep the whole pack yourself. - UNLESS you're buying several other items, to make the purchase of 3 or 4 pads worthwhile.

Post by: REvans284 on December 31, 2007, 09:06:33 PM: If you order them from a site that has a pack of 20 or so, will they let you mix and match the grits you want? Because if I did buy some, I would buy roughly 2-3 of each grit and it would be about 6-9 total (2-3 maroon, gray and white, because I can get green anywhere). I'm just in an area that its a little harder to find these grits at.

Thanks

No, a pack is sealed in plastic from the factory.

Their website is under construction. Searches point towards other woodworking web sites. Can you be more explicit?

This is where I get my Abralon pads from.

Post by: rkj4243 on January 19, 2008, 04:16:32 PM: You can order them directly from 3M, in any quantity for about .97 each. Shipping is very realistic, 2.50 for "ground" shipping for 6 pads. Various grits, or colors available there as well.
