Thanks to a post on WC, I got some new sanding discs that I think are
great. This isn't an add, just me sharing what I think performs better
than any others that I have used. Check out VincesWoodnWonders. Sanding
film, not paper, strong but flexable. A bunch of people were raving
about how good these discs were, and since I was looking for something
better than the red aluminum oxide discs that I punch from rolls, I
ordered them. I tested them out on two (14 and 12 inch) myrtle bowls.
The paper still cut like new after the two bowls. I gave some to a
friend who has turned 6 inch myrtle bowls to the tune of 600 to 800 per
year for the last 11 years. He knows, probably down to the second, each
step in the process. He said that it lasts twice as long as what he has
been using. The discs are punched out at 2 3/8 and 3 3/8 inches, and
are really nice. I have since sanded out 15 bowls in the 10 to 16 inch
sizes, and the stuff really works nicely.
