Take your woodturning projects to the next level of smoothness with Superior Grit Microfine abrasive paste. Made in Canada, this premium hand-blended mixture of mineral oil, beeswax and ultra-fine abrasive powders works like liquid sandpaper to produce an exceptionally smooth, polished surface.
Designed for acrylic, resin, hybrid pen blanks and tight-grained woods, Superior Grit Microfine is the ideal final sanding step before applying your preferred finish. It works particularly well after sanding to 1,000 grit or following Superior Grit Original, helping eliminate fine sanding marks while reducing airborne dust in your workshop.
What is Superior Grit Microfine abrasive paste?
Superior Grit Microfine is an ultra-fine sanding and polishing paste formulated for materials that benefit from a particularly smooth surface, including acrylics, resins, hybrid blanks and tight-grained woods. Its combination of mineral oil, beeswax and ultra-fine abrasive powders helps refine the surface after conventional sanding, reducing minor scratches and blemishes before finishing.
How do I use Superior Grit Microfine?
Superior Grit Microfine is designed to simplify the final polishing stage of your woodturning projects. For best results, use it after sanding to approximately 1,000 grit or as a follow-up to Superior Grit Original.
What are the benefits of using Superior Grit Microfine?
Superior Grit Microfine makes the final sanding and polishing process cleaner and easier while helping you achieve an exceptionally smooth surface. Its ultra-fine abrasive formula works after 1,000-grit sanding or Superior Grit Original to reduce fine scratches and minor blemishes without having to continue through multiple finer grades of sandpaper. The paste provides a virtually dust-free final sanding process, helping reduce fine airborne particles and keeping your workshop cleaner. It's particularly useful for acrylic, resin and hybrid blanks where a smooth, polished surface is important to the appearance of the finished project.
Does Superior Grit Microfine eliminate sanding dust?
Superior Grit Microfine offers a virtually dust-free alternative to conventional fine sanding. Because the abrasive particles are suspended in a paste, the final sanding process generates much less airborne dust than dry sanding. You'll still generate shavings and potentially dust during turning and the initial sanding stages, but using Superior Grit Microfine for the final polishing step can help reduce the amount of fine dust produced during finishing.
What projects can I use Superior Grit Microfine on?
Superior Grit Microfine is suitable for a variety of woodturning projects, particularly those made from acrylic, resin, hybrid materials or tight-grained wood. It can be used on pen blanks, bottle stoppers, shaving brush handles, ring blanks and other small turned projects where a smooth surface is important. It's also an excellent choice for refining the surface after using Superior Grit Original.
What is the difference between Superior Grit Original and Microfine?
Superior Grit Original is designed for use on wood after sanding to approximately 220 grit, producing a surface comparable to a 1,000-grit finish. Superior Grit Microfine uses a finer abrasive formula and is intended for use after sanding to approximately 1,000 grit or following Superior Grit Original. It's particularly well suited to acrylics, resins, hybrid blanks and tight-grained woods that benefit from additional surface refinement. The two products can be used together as part of a progressive sanding and polishing process.
