3M™️Wetordry™️Polishing Papers - 6 Large sheets

3M™️ Wetordry™️ (also called Tri-M-Ite) Polishing Papers - could this be the best abrasive there is for mirror polishing silver, acrylics, resin, wood and many other materials?

They're made from micron sized abrasive particles, slurry coated onto a non-woven synthetic backing. They are soft, cloth-like and paper thin, so wraps smoothly around your piece. You can also wrap the paper around a wooden stick, if you only want to polish the raised surfaces on your piece, for instance, if you have oxidised the piece.

The precision micron grading provides a uniform, consistent finish. These are sometimes referred to as Tri-M-Item papers, or lapping papers. They really give you the most fantastic mirror-like finish on metal clay and silver.

Works wonders on silver clay, sterling silver, and also resin like Alumilite Resin, plastics, acrylics, polyurethanes surface composites, and. Use to remove scratches and bring back transparency to acrylic and polycarbonate. The precision micron grading provides a uniform, consistent finish.

Luthiers and instrument makers - this product is loved by many of you for giving a beautiful finish to your frets and other wood work.

Key features & benefits:

• Ultra-Fine Abrasive: Uses micron-graded silicon carbide or aluminum oxide particles for precise and consistent sanding.
• Flexible Backing: Made from soft, flexible paper, which allows for better contouring on curved surfaces.
• Dry or Wet Use: Can be used dry, or with water to reduce heat buildup and improve finish quality.
• Wide Grit Range: Available in ultra-fine grits from around 400 to 8,000, making them ideal for progressive polishing.

To hand finish your work to a mirror finish, start with the coarsest grit and work to the finest grit. When you see uniform fine lines, move to the next grit. Do not skip grits or you won't get a mirror finish. Grits are colour coded for easy identification.

Each sheet is 21.6cm x 27.9cm (8.5" x 11"). This is a US Letter size, which is very similar to an A4 sheet (A4 is a little taller, and Letter is a little wider of the two).
