scotch brite & wet/dry sandpaper
« on: February 08, 2004, 08:29:39 PM »
Hey people,

I am now thinking of using scotch brite with my particle balls, and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the comparison. (i.e. green pad = 800 grit, blue pad = 600 grit, white pad = 320 grit....etc. etc. etc.)

Im new to using scotch bright pads, so please let me know.

Thanks

two brands at least are available.

Most well known.
3M
Burgundy = 320
Green = 600
then I get shaky.

Other brand I have.
Very green = 320
Grey green = 800
White = 1000

I love the stuff on my particles and makes plug work a dream.
Keep them very wet or you'll scratch the balls.

Always scared of using sandpaper as it would break of particles and I would see a loss of reaction.  Could often restore with Brunswick Sandpaper(trizact).

Now the reaction stays particle-y(new word).

REgards,
