Title: Where could i find ............
Post by: bowlingman817 on December 31, 2015, 10:28:44 PM

Looking for the gray and burgundy sanding pads that used to come in the old Lane Masters ball boxes. Down to my last set and they are getting pretty worn. If they are  to hard to find what would be the closest alternative to both of them. I just like using these over regular abrolan pads.

weren't those essentially just scotch-brite pads? I know they used to make green, grey, red, ect pads.

They are exactly scotch brite pads. You can buy them anywhere that sells auto body supplies. Amazon.com has them if you want quantities. Your local NAPA will probably sell them in singles.

Lots of internet places sell single 6"x9" pieces but youhave to pay shipping:

For smaller quantities you're best off checking local home/hardware places like Home Depot, WalMart and automotive supplies, like AutoZone.

Those are THE exact same pads that Lane Masters gave us on the original Legends balls boxes, along with the polish and the See-saw. They just cut them into smaller pieces.
So, they have to be, by definition, the same grit. :)

I buy the burgundy and grey 6"x9" pads at a local auto parts store where I usually buy tune-up parts. I don't remember the exact price, but they are very reasonable. Then I cut them into smaller pieces: some for the spinner and some to keep in my bag for on-lane use.

I think these are perfect for just scuffing the ball by hand before league or tournaments to freshen up the surface.
