Anyone using Yorkshire Grit

[Lazurus]

Can anyone give me an informed opinion of this product and if it has advantages over conventional fine sanding papers. I am looking with a view to finishing mixed woo and resin turned spheres similar to those done by Heath KNUCKLES (Yes that is his real name). :shock:

Just a marketing gimmick in my view, nothing that you can't do just as easily with fine abrasives and wax or oil

I have several 'trial/test' versions of similar products.
Used on a Sealed and Finished Surface to Burnish the surface to remove blemishes and attain a high gloss then I think it's a case of trial to see if any of the product does what you want to the level you want.

I personally use the Chestnut "Cut-n-Polish" as an alternative to burnishing cream on some sealed pieces where using the Buffing Mops is not ideal to finesse the surface, depends which is the most convenient.

I think using these waxed based Burnishing products on bare wood as a finishing sanding medium is fraught with problems if you are intending to use anything other than Wax as a finish on the unsealed surface.
It's inevitable that wax and abrasive debris is imbedded in the pores of the wood, Wax is a release agent in most forms, not exactly the best bond to any form of Lacquer or conducive to the penitration of Sanding Sealers etc.
