The deep pile of the open-web fibers hold polishes and compounds and distribute them evenly as the surface is being worked. A small amount (3-10%) of talc is incorporated into the non-woven fibers of our Scotch-Brite™ High Gloss Roll to enhance its polishing capability. As the fibers wear, fresh talc is exposed to provide a consistent finish throughout the life of the product. In woodworking, this material can be used with polish to create a high gloss finish in topcoat rubbing applications. The versatile roll can be custom cut and used by hand for precise control, with a hand block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to finish large areas.
