This stuff goes under various names. "Diamond Dust Cloth" "Abrasive
Cloth" "Duracut Abrasive Cloth" "Duracut Abrasive Cloth"etc.

Not sand paper by any means.

Made by 3_M, I used to get it from Curtis Industries Part * 89224, (180
grit) but since they pulled the local sales force, it's more difficult
to get.

The stuff isn't cheap by any means, but to me it's worth every penny.

None of the auto parts stores in my area carry it, not even napa , even
though they have a host of 3-m products. They must have only a
selective line. Even my auto-electric suppliers have a difficult time
coming up with it.

Can you tell me a good source for it?

Thanks!

soldering.
