    Question How do you store your micromesh

    I found a unused CD holder at work and decided it was just what I needed
    For sandpaper I made one of TTIT's paper tree thingys

    standing there like that they look like they would go good with some nice vintage cheese and a good cup of coffee.
    good idea though ,

    I have a set for wood, one for plastics and one for metals. Mine are the 3x4 sheets,
    not the sponge backed pads.
    I keep them in a container of water with a bit of dish soap. Every few dozen pens I'll take
    them out and clean with a small brush (old toothbrush, fingernail crush, vegetable brush)
    and return them to the container of water.

    I like your setup, but it is too neat.. wouldn't match the decor in my shop.

    Thats a great idea Nick, I prefer your way as it lets them dry quicker. Mine just lay flat overlapping each other on an old plastic base that sausages came in!!

    I just store mine in a drawer. I like your idea.

    Neat idea! Those CD things are useless for anything else

    Cheers,

    I haven't used any for so long now that I wouldn't be
    able to find it anyways.
    I find I can get a excellent finish on any material without it.
