I asked for it at the local engineering supply recently where I got the
it before a few years back , and just got a blank stare in return .
I hope they still make it as it's good stuff.


Hmm, I'm learning a lot of things I thought would be hard to obtain
there, are available fairly easily. But sounds like this is something
I'll want to stock up on before I head over...

Hi Jon ,
I'm sure it's available here just hard to find , if I can't get a
resupply I will turn to the www and purchase on line.
I have been using it sparingly ,but will have to look for some more.
There is good link to McMaster-carr posted in this thread they have a
selection of grits available.
There is a guy in Queensland called the "sandpaperman" he seems to have
a good supply of abrasives ,I may try to see if he can get it.
The shop where I bought it before has changed owners and they seem to
need educating as to what crocus cloth is.



Ive bought a goodly quantity of sand papers, crocus and other media on
Ebay from Barbkat..a lady who does a marvelous job of selling such media
at very very fair prices
