3M Flexible Polishing Papers

‘Finishing fabric’ conforms to any surface. Strong micro-grit papers so flexible you can use them like cloth, wet or dry!

Because they conform to any surface shape, they’re great for polishing contoured guitar finishes, frets, plastic pickguards, pearl inlays and more. The first samples we received were jealously hoarded in our shops, quickly becoming favorites for polishing nuts and saddles, and for touchups in lacquer finishes.

“Indispensable for polishing bone and pearl nuts. They leave a gorgeous luster with no dark residue in porous bone.”
—Don MacRostie, Red Diamond Mandolins

Each sheet is coated on one side with micron-graded particles of aluminum oxide (1200-8000 grit) or silicon carbide (400-600 grit), on an extremely flexible non-woven .007″ synthetic backing.

The pattern coating won’t clog quickly. They leave no dark residue in porous bone nuts and saddles. The durable tear-resistant sheet washes easily in water.

Each sheet is a generous 8.5″ x 11″ (215.9mm x 279.4mm).

“The most versatile abrasive in my shop.”
—Erick Coleman

“Lasts a long time, and so flexible you can buff shoeshine-style!”
—Dan Erlewine
