GLASSPAPER
Originally, glasspaper must have been one of the first recyclable products. Made from crushed glass bottles, it played an important role for finishing bare wood. And at that time, served the woodworker and finisher better than flint. As you can imagine, it is much stronger than flint.
Due to the limitation of the material, the grain isn’t consistent in size. Nor is it predictable in it’s behaviour when used. The uneven grade and strength of the grains can cause uneven scratches in wood. So this is more suitable for general use than fine work.
This is only to be used on bare wood.
