Micro-Mesh
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:57 pm
I've read a lot about Micro-mesh, said by many to be the ultimate modeller's abrasive product, especially for removing mould lines and other blemishes from transparent parts. Here in the UK, I've only found one modelling supplier who lists Micro-mesh, but they were out of stock. A bit of digging produced two suppliers, both tucked away in the wood turning section of ebaY. The Micro-mesh Craft Kit retails at £13.95 or thereabouts. Contents are as follows:

1 - 2" x 2" Soft Touch Pad, Micro-Mesh 1500

I'm waiting for my kit to arrive - full report as and when, but if the Cybermodeler review above is anything to go by, I think this is going to be the answer to a modeller's prayers.
