MICRO MESH

[4DCustoms]

I have been searching on here to figure out what parts of the micro mesh everyone is using. it looks as if you guys are using 3500-12000 grit pads/cloths, but which kit do I get? I have searched on amazon and found alot of products and wanted to see which ones you guys are using. Here is the link.

First one includes the pads with the foam

http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Mesh-Model-Polishing-Kit/dp/B000X4J4G4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1288908252&sr=8-2

This kit includes just the cloths

http://www.amazon.com/Rockler-Micro-Mesh-12-000/dp/B001F7LVNC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1288908252&sr=8-6

Or do I just get both?

Thank you for the help.

This is the one I have...actually I have two of them as I thought I had lost the original one when everything went into storage.

2000-grit sandpaper and Coarse, Fine and Finish Tamiya polishing compounds.

One question. Why would you buy them from secondary sources when you can buy them directly from the manufacture? Here is the web site for the company that makes the stuff. http://micro-surface.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=272_4_75_81

Get two polishing kits. One for LIGHT colors an one for DARK colors. You'll be glad you did. B)

Rockler woodworkers supply also sells the pads

It's good to have the one with the foam block specially when sanding flat areas like roofs and stuff. You still have to make sure that you get your foundation straight, in other words, use the foam block on your plastic first and then your primer, it will definitely be easier at the end to get the results you want.

I like the pads and use them most often but sometimes you just need a sheet.
