Diamond is the hardest natural material so these diamond polishing papers, or polishing cloths are much tougher and longer lasting than aluminium oxide paper, sanding paper or emery paper.
If you need to sand, smooth and round off a piece of glass you've cut, but the glass is a funny shape then these diamond impregnated fabric sheets will reach into the most awkward places, and the same goes for stone polishing.
The diamond cloth can be used as is, cut and glued to a mandrel, or simply just wrap the diamond polishing cloth around a shaped piece of wood or your finger.
"Beneficial for very close grain woods such as Ebony and Pink Ivory where you have a very close grain and want to achieve a glassy look to your finish" - Jason Townsend. The Woodcarvers Gazette
"Thanks for my recent order. It was an extremely swift service and the quality of the diamond polishing cloths and diamond sintered burrs are excellent" - Clare-Louise Sandell
"If you need to sand, smooth and round off a piece of glass you've cut, but the glass is a funny shape then these diamond impregnated fabric sheets will reach into the most awkward places. You can just wrap them around a shaped piece of wood, or your finger" - Rob Page. Guild of Glass Engravers
