Micro-Mesh sanding pads feature silicone carbide grit that you will find lasts longer than other sanding products. This is due to the construction of the abrasive, which prevents the abrasive crystals from fracturing and overheating.
"I really like these little pads and the fact that they are double sided is great. Wood turners would enjoy using these pads to polish. They're ideal to hold against a spinning cylindrical form. They have a place with the wood carver as well, I have two carvings that easily benefit from these pads; one a Tagua nut carving and a Whitby jet carving. You can really apply a high polish with these and I would definitely recommend them" - Jason Townsend. The Woodcarvers Gazette
"You can get a nice satin finish on silver a lot faster and a lot more even than with conventional papers.They're flexible which is really useful for flat and curved shapes, you've got the edges and the corners too, and when they do get dirty you just flip it over and you've got the other side as well. A really, really great set and I highly recommend them" - Dave Wilson. Celtic Dreams
Helpful Note: Sand to a uniform level first then begin by using the 1500 grit and work your way through the grades to 12000.
