Shelley's Lapidary Supplies
I've purchased various grits from them before. For what purpose exactly?"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

Carbatec stock it, last grit I bought was 600, but they have IIRC up to 800. They also sell it as a kit.

carborundum powder
G'day Wolffie, I was a member of a lapbidary club and they used this powder for taking out the saw marks and the start of the polishing of the rock so you should be able to get various grits for your job.
Yours Wuzatrewunce.

I make a little flat pouch with Carborundum powder and put it in the top before I fill them.

Thank you all for your help
I got it from Ashworths Lapidary Supplies in Home Hill
Their price was good and the postage was cost, not added on handling charges.
Looking forward to receiving it
Cheers

What grit did you go for? I would imagine that anything fine enough to polish a needle would also work it's way out of the pocket too.

I went for an 80, that's what I used before and no, it will not work its way out, the fabric is quite fine weave

I can understand 80 grit being contained quite well. I was thinking more along the lines of 800 grit, that was my concern. Does 80 grit work well enough at keeping the needles clean?

yes it does, we are not talking about big rusty darning needles, we are talking about 26/28 gauge embroidery needles that get a tiny bit tarnished from finger acid.
With the fine fabric I use, it does not take much for the needles to catch the fabric.
