    Micromesh pads question

    I've been wanting to try micromesh pads for a while. Even more so now that you guys are recommending them.

    Organising micromesh

    How do members organise micromesh? I have used the sheets and the foam pads before, and need to buy some more of one type or another now.

    TM Alpha

    Managed to "dress" a TM Alpha kit today in rollerball form. This was my first attempt at one, not too happy tbh, as there are still tiny scratches on it, I have ordered new micro pads as I think my ones are getting near the end of their life.
