Has anybody used micro-mesh abrasives on their bowling balls. Is it safe to use on particle equipment.

websites say that it 15 times longer that other abrasives.

The Micro Mesh grits are numbered from 1800 to 12000. The 1800 Micro Mesh is equivalent to 600 grit sandpaper (in ANSI numbering), and 4000 Micro Mesh equal to 1500 grit. That takes the 12000 Micro Mesh way off our traditional scale for measuring sandpaper.

the 120000 pad has me intrigued. i seem to like me reaction without polish. if i can create more length with something higher than 4000 i would like to try it.

i just started using Mirka mirlon pads. so far i like them. The highest grit that it comes in is 2500. Cheap. similiar to a scotch brite pad. i don't know how long each pads last, because i just stated using them.

I have used these.. I used the 8000 and 12000 to try to get a super fine finish above 4000 abralon.. my thinking is that it would allow the ball to have even a bigger backend..
result.. yes and no..

It made the ball skid alot with too much speed... you had to slow the ball down alot for the ball to react.. but when you got it to react on the backend it was very quick and angular..more than the 4000 abralon..
It definitely provided more length.

I also have a .5 micron polishing powder that I used that created a similar reaction.. makes the ball very shiny and mirror like..
