>What are the best sources for Liberon steel wool and for MicroMesh?

Anyone know - is MicoMesh 6000 = the same a 6000 grit? Just wondering the equivalance.

Thanks

I heard that there is a Liberon 5/0 (00000) available somewhere. Don't know where though.

Grits are not the same. When I sand to 2000 I usually skip the micromesh and use the brown paper bag, which is about 12000 MM.

P-scale or US scale?

>I wonder if the table in your link lists the grit sizes of sandpapers graded according to FEPA (P-scale) or CAMI (US standard). The micron size listed in this table does not correlate with the micron sizes of the grits for either scale.

For example, MicroMesh 2400 is about the same as 800 grit sandpaper, according to this table. Of course this could be P-800 (which is equal to 400 CAMI) or 800 CAMI (= P-1600). My guess is that they are using the CAMI scale.
