    I have been to 4 different hardware stores. No 800 grit crocus cloth to be found!

    Ok, ok...I'm really running out of excuses at this point I guess. Next one up you can count on it, I will definitely, most assuredly, without hesitation, maybe pin it up first!

    As for the 'crocus'...I bought mine at 'Ace Hardware' some time ago but I also know there are tons of places online to buy it. I'll Google up some places, check 'em out , and then let you know where you can get the kind that I am using. I'm almost out myself so I've got to look anyway. Standby...

    Thanks Guys...

    Hey Sharptonn! (and anyone else interested )

    Here's the info and some pics of the Crocus Cloth that I use. It's made by Fandeli Abrasives in Texas.

    Catalog: http://www.aishouston.com/images/fan...al_catalog.pdf

    Website: Fandeli - Coated Abrasives


    After 400 grit and 600 grit grease-less compound I use the Fine Crocus (800 grit) to get that Soft Satin look.

    Okay, now this is interesting-I've been wanting to try for more of a satin finish. I've got all the greseless wheels including 400 and 600. Is there any chance I can get that satin look with 800 wet-dry paper (which i happen to have on hand)? Thanks-SHD

    Yes! I have a local hardware which has everything! (except 800 crocus!) The have a myriad of cloth backed rolls of abrasives. Since you have to tear a little piece anyway, perhaps it will work and be pretty handy as well?
    Dang! I HAVE some!
