Hey guys, I have a medium grit scothbrite belt that a buddy used and the surface of it is "loaded up" with
metal. He used it on a sword to take some scratches out. I don't know how long he used it since I wasn't in the shop with him
but when I went to use it the next time, the surface of the belt was obviously loaded up with metal and not nearly as
abrasive as it should be. Is there a way to "renew' the surface or some way to get some more life out of these belts?
They're too dang expensive to load up that quick. I had used it a few times before that on a few hunters but nothing significant.
One thing I just thought of, it's the Klingspor non woven medium grit I bought from Tracy.
Not a "Scotchbrite" brand.
Not sure if that makes any difference or not.
Thoughts?
