Talk:Emery cloth

Not a type of sandpaper?
How is emery cloth all that different from Sandpaper? Perhaps this could be included in that article as a type of sandpaper. Maybe not... I guess sand paper is an abrasive glued onto paper, whereas emery cloth is an abrasive glued onto cloth. Around the shop we use the terms interchangeably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alister 77 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Technically it isn't a sand paper because of the cloth backing, so it ends up being a coated abrasive. However, you are right in that colloquially it is called sandpaper. Wizard191 (talk) 17:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
