Another question on plug work
« on: March 22, 2008, 11:43:12 AM »
If you're using a Taxi Cab block to finish after routering or plug cutting, what grit(s) of the taxi sanding discs would be best to use?

I start with 180, 360, 500 then up to what ever you want the ball cover to be. ie 500 or 1000 or 2000 ect.

Just how I do it.

Yeah we use the yellow cab, then brown, then black, then blue. The yellow is 120 and i dont remember what the blue is but its relatively fine. We finish the rest of the ball off on the Ebonite Resurface Machine using abralon pads to bring the ball to the desired surface.

Do you use water with the CAB blocks?  Also has anyone tried abralon pads in them?
