Re: [FWDLK] Crocus cloth ?

[Tom Duross <6t4belvedere@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry about that.

Crocus cloth is very similar to plumbers emery cloth except crocus cloth was
a very fine sandcloth made from silica and cotton, I believe.
I don't believe it's around anymore, it was great for taking out fine
scratches with compounds like Bon Ami (thank God that's still here)
I would think emery cloth would work fine except it comes in a roll about an
inch wide now, for what I know (butt crack plumber that I am).
Crocus used to come in sheets and rolls.  Great stuff.  There are also
fitting brushes available that would work to clean out the cylinders.
