Micromesh ??

Post by burnie43 »

Hi
I'm getting ready to do some Alclad on a P-51 and I'd like to give the gloss black base coat a wee rub down to help with the finish.....I've read that I should use micromesh cloths ? Can anyone confirm this and maybe let me know where the best place to buy it from might be ?
thanks in advance

Think mine runs from 3000 to 12000 grade, got it off amazon via albion alloys.

The micromesh set Alpha Abrasives (Set Albion Alloys resells) does is the absolute dog's whatsies when it comes to micromesh. Won't go wrong there just need to put the time in to give the body a manual rub down.
