Micro-Mesh Finishing Abrasives Kit


Read 16 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Cushioned for a scratch-free mirror finish.
Micro-Mesh™ features tiny abrasive crystals on resilient cloth-backed latex. These gentle "cushioned" particles generate less heat and friction than ordinary finishing papers, don't load up as quickly, and last up to 15 times longer. Use Micro-Mesh with soapy water to produce a scratch-free mirror shine on finishes and pickguards.

The kit includes:
18 Micro-Mesh abrasive sheets (two 3" x 6" pieces of each grit):
1500, 1800, 2400, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000-grit
Foam sanding block

Impressive Results

I'm quite surprised at how well these abrasives work. I'm able to get an almost perfect finish just using the full suite of grits. Scratch-free is pretty difficult, though. Any minor debris on your surface or in your lubricant will show as scratches when you get to the highest grits. So you have to be extremely careful not to have any contamination. Buffing should take care of them, though. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the price.

Excellent for fretwork

Yes, they're expensive. But, they are the best product for polishing frets. After leveling, we crown with the StewMac diamond crowning file, and then we start with the coarsest grit of Micro-Mesh and work our way up to 12000. It does an excellent job of smoothing & polishing the frets.

if it's good enough to polish fighter windscreens it's good enough for frets or blemishes on wood or paint. was dumbfounded at how great the system worked

overpriced but worked well

i bought mine a while back for 45 dollars...i mean its good stuff and you can use it for almost any polishing job but now i wish i had chosen a couple foam pads and some polishing compounds. Dont get me wrong. Im very satisfied but i only used them for a couple projects

If I Weren't A Guitar Repairman

I'd be a Micro Mesh Salesman. This stuff is THE BEST!!!

About 10 years ago, I was orchestral trombone maker. This is where I first started using Micro Mesh. I now use it on everything from my teeth to spark plugs. Oh, and I only use this to polish frets. NOTHING WORKS BETTER TO MAKE FRETS GLOW THAN 4000 GRIT MICRO MESH. Gorgomite is poo!

Indispensible for finishing.

I have been using the Micro-Mesh Abrasives to complete a shellac re-finish of a 60-80 year old bowlback mandolin that required extensive structural repairs. As good as I am with brushing, the shellac starts to set up extremely quick due to it's alcohol solvent, and imperfections are almost inevitable.

I used 3M imperial 1200 grit wet-or-dry paper to smooth things out between 6 coats on the top, then started to progressively smooth the finish with the micro-mesh. Unbelievable...you have total control over the desired gloss, and the top is beautiful. This product is also very good for touching up minor scratches on your guitar, etc., unless you like the road-worn look.

I am working on a 100 year-old violin stain/re-finish next, and the micro-mesh will be indispensable.
