Sometimes called Micro Mesh, I need some cloth backed sanding sheets/discs in grits of 2400 and 4000. Locally, it appears this material may be used by Automotive finishing shops, though mostly in courser grits. I need just a couple of these sheets of 2400 and 4000 grit. What I don't need is a complete Acrylic Scratch Removal Kit with the grit assortment and I don't need a pack of 5 of each grit as is sold online, along with with minimum order restrictions.  Anyone have access, through their work, to these two grits with cloth/loop backing? Would prefer 4" or larger sheets/discs.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it came from you, Adam, but have a Lifeguard Aquatics Scratch Removal kit. Unfortunately, those kits only have one 2400, one 3200 and one 4000 grit pieces and they are only 3"x4". That size often slips off the magnet as I'm running it. A larger size can be secured so it doesn't slip. The other 6 grits in the kit are ineffective for quick polishing/algae scraping of the inside surface. They are too course leaving fine scratches that take more time to sand out, or too fine taking forever to do the job. I'm still looking, if anyone can help me. I'd be happy to purchase the sheets for ~$5 each.

Let me check around at work. I believe we polish aircraft canopy transparency with something in the 6000 grit range. |
