Author Topic: Grades of Scotch Brite pads? (Read 3083 times)

Bigmon · « **on:** March 19, 2019, 05:36:35 PM »

I see folks on this site like the scotch brite pads, and even Mr Kibler is using them in his video, which I am tring to do.
My problem is that even though I searched the web, I am having difficulty finding the different gards of grit/coarseness of the pads. I have green and maroon, cant really tell a differeance, cept that I need something finer? I think that might be gray?
I'd go back to 0000steel wool, but if this is better, I want to learn.
Anyone know if there is a chart or anything telling the diff grades of scotchbrite pads?
Thanks

Look on Skotchbrite (3M) site.
I use mostly the two you have. The next finer is gray, then white. For finishes, maroon works fine.

I use the maroon and the grey, I tried some white and it was too fine for anything but polishing......Ed

White - Cleansing (1200-1500) grit
Light Grey - Ultra Fine (600-800) grit.
Green - Light Duty (600) grit
Maroon - General Purpose (320-400) grit
Brown - Extra Duty (280-320) grit
Dark Grey - Blending (180-220) grit
Tan - Heavy Duty (120-150) grit

Menards has maroon & green, that's what I've been using.

I didn't even know there were that many grades! I've been using green for about everything I need a scouring pad for. I'll have to check out Lowes, myself.

I buy a box of 20 at a time. Surprisingly amazon is not the best deal, shop around. I get them at a welding supply outfit.

Are they different thicknesses as well as different abrasiveness?

Longknife · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2019, 04:59:27 PM »

Daryl, They are all the same size,, 6"x 9"X 1/4', 20 to a box They can be cut smaller very easily with a pair of scissors!...Ed

I prefer Tim's grade of scotch.

The blue ones IMO are different. They are almost a hard plastic....not like the other grades that you can actually feel the abrasive texture of them. They are likely best suited for the kitchen.
