    Default Help on "Scotchbrite" type Scourers

    Tried some elcheapo (green) scourers with danish oit and ended up with a greenish job.
    Can anyone provide me with a source of decent scourers?

    The kitchen. They're supposed to work a bit better for finishing once they've been broken in.

    Bruce,
    next time you head down the hill to the big smoke, try Cairns Wholesale Paints, corner Buchan and Southern Access road. Should have them in different grades.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Most industrial suppliers carry these, I think I got my last box from Blackwoods.

    Any specialist abrasive supplier should be able to sort you out,
    OR
    automotive refinis supplier
    or possibly
    cleaning supplier

    the domestic scourers are OK for some work, but they are too small, not available in different grades and arguably not as consistent.

    I find maroon the most usefull colour

    from memory
    black coarse & nasty
    green still coarse
    maroon ( red) much more like it
    grey finer

    there are also some specialist stuff like it specificaly designed for wood work.

    you can also get round ones that go on your ROS but you need to use them on slow speed or they go... ZZZZIP FFFLLLIPPPT across the workshop.

    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
