Back in December, fellow metalsmith and blogger Catherine Chandler posted a review on 3M™’s bristle disks. I finally got around to using them, and I’m so glad that I did. Check out Catherine’s review on the Etsy Metal blog here. Thanks Catherine!
I used the bristle disks on my flex shaft to clean up the slowly progressing polka-dot jasper necklace links. The picture below is the pendant arranged under the links. (I was just playing with the links, they’ll actually form a necklace when they’re ready.)

I bought the small sample pack. I can see myself using all of them, but I’ve used the three coarsest the most.
I haven’t tried them yet. What size did you get? Do you find that you need all of the grits?
I love 3M disks; they do such a great job and the necklace is WOW!
Wowwwwwwww. Now THAT is dramatic!! I used to use the radial disks all the time and have sort of stopped using them…not sure why. hmmmm.
LOVE me some 3M bristle disks! Couldn’t live without ’em. Beautiful pendant!
