I get mine from CSM. Wide range of stuff and pretty good prices.

As to what I use - it depends on the job. However I can say that I have never been able to get on with Garnet paper. Tried it on all sorts of surfaces/finishes but it seems to have worn out or clogged up about a nanosecond after it makes touch down. But maybe that's just me.


It is, it's me isn't it.

No it isn't - I have similar problems so I tend to stick to alox.

Vitex does it for me - 90% for turning - still bemused by both how effective it is and how much use i get from a piece!
So much so that I've still got the ends of rolls of the old paper-backed stuff lying around. Keep meaning to finish them off but somehow just never do!

The stuff I use is 3M Tri-M-ite Frecut...(3M618) alox which is fantastic stuff but I'm running out, my current stock was aquired :roll: when at work....does anyone know where to get 3M papers in smallish quantities, say 50 or so sheets at a time? - Rob
