Superior Grit Abrasive Paste

Canadian Made, Superior Grit abrasive paste, Original and Microfine, 50 grams containers perfect for pen turners

These abrasive pastes works exactly like many others on the market, by manufacturing them myself at Woodslee Summercraft Studios, I am able to save many of the costs involved with importing another brand of abrasive paste from the UK, Now is the perfect time to introduce ‘Superior grit’ both Original and Microfine grits, the brand is based on the Canadian Great Lakes in particular the big one, Lake Superior. I am located in the Great Lakes region of Ontario so it is my privilege  to bring a little piece of the Great lakes to your workshop. This product like many others on the market requires the exact same steps that most of us are familiar with. Please be sure to wear proper PPE eye protection is a must, you don’t want abrasive in your eye

• Turn your piece.
• sand perfectly to 240/320 grit making absolutely sure there is no tear out or scratch marks from lower grits of paper.
• clean with compressed air, tack rag or alcohol.
• seal appropriately using  cellulose or Shellac based sanding sealer,  spending a little extra time to seal the end grain, allow time to dry between coats and before next step.
• De-nib with a scouring pad or last grit used of sand paper.
• with lathe stationary apply enough Superior grit to cover the entire piece with a thin layer.
• on slow speed start to work the product into the surface with a paper towel, gradually increasing the speed as it works its magic.
• once you see, feel and hear that it has done its job, remove any residue.
