Hi Don

Apart from the couple of sample packs of all the colours I have as a fitter, (those are only 100 mm square), I have offcuts left of only 3 of the kitchens I've fitted and that's one of them which without checking I'm sure is "biscuit".

400g is the normal finish on a kitchen worktop application but I've done a couple to 600g and on pens I go to 4000 micromesh and then chrome polish which gives a mirror shine.

Thanks lons,
I will try that chrome polish finish on the next one. I have a couple of pieces left so plenty of things to try out.
One other thing I had with this material, when drilling I had mostly the shavings shown but there was also some dust, like talc, that seemed to stick to every surface.
I will use water when I sand the next one.:thumbs:
