Re: microfine abrasives source

These are available (in person or mail order) from Lee Valley Tools. You
can call them at 1-800-267-8767, or fax: 1-800-668-1807. The customer
enquiry number is 1-800-267-8761 to use for general enquiries. They have
an excellent catalogue that costs $5 (Can.), and you get it back with the
first order you make. There is also a web site just newly opened:

Someone asked about using the abrasives on plastic...I haven't tried
that, but at $3/sheet it's not expensive to get a bit and try it. Most of
my keyboard work is with bone for which it's wonderful.
