scotch brite pads
« on: March 04, 2006, 02:03:06 PM »
all the stores in my area carry green scotchbrite pads.  They are 400 grit, right?  Are there other scotchbrite pads at different grits?  if so, where can you get them at?

Yes they are probably the most durable sanding product you can easily get hold of.

The grit will change after quite a bit of use but they last me a long time.

Also they are the easiest way of giving your ball a quick scuff up by hand before league.
