    I am in urgent need of some help reagarding CA aplication I have been using the blue Viva hand towels to apply my CA to my pens for the last couple of years (Finally found somthing I was happy with) and it worked great BUT last week I went to get another roll of the paper from Woolworths (Around $4.80 a roll) and it was out of stock but then after trying several woolies I have now been told that the new planogram for there stores did not include it. I have been trying everywhere to get some more but cannot even find the stuff today I sent an email to the manafacturer to find out if still maid or nor and I am awaiting a reply. Can someone tell me where it can be found or a good substite for this item otherwise I could have a breakdown

    I've been using that thin craft foam. works well and you can use it over and over. No need to move to a clean part with each application.

    Try your local auto parts supply house, there is a heavy blue "shop towel" paper towel sold at most of them here, it is great for CA.
    I use them to polish also, stands up to the metal polish I use, the Hutt Plastic polish, and the few times I have done a CA finish they were great.

    The best paper towel I have found for applying CA, in fact for any purpose, is the Samson one from Aldi. It is a 3ply and works like a charm for this application.

    Hey Ian,

    Fear not - all is not lost
    All of the companies below stock it - perhaps with the exception of the one you mentioned. K-C Viva and Kleenex Viva is the same company. You can even buy it through online shopping at the supermarkets

    I was up at Coles this afternoon and they are stocked up with Viva paper towels - around $4-00 for a packet of 2. They are white in a blue/clear packet. I imagine they are the ones you are talking about.

    Thanks Greg but unfortunately that is not the type of towel I have been refering to. The one I am after is a cross between the paper and also cloth towel it is indeed blue and is normally only sold in single rolls and sells for between $4.50 and $5.00 just for the single roll. It is the best product that I have found to put the CA on with without leaving any lines in the blank.
    But thanks for the info and I have purchased a couple of the different paper towels and will give them a go. However if I can find the towel I am after I will be a happy Chappy indeed.

    Cheers Ian

    Ahhh Haaa. The cross between the cloth and paper. Bunnings sells it as a Chux product.
