G-Tac Slurry Coated Polishing Strips Assortment

G-Tac Slurry Coated Polishing Strips bring a refined approach to fine and extra-fine abrasive work in the jewelry studio. Slurry coating embeds multiple layers of grit into the binder resin, producing a finer finish than conventionally coated abrasives of the same grit size. This makes these strips ideal for detail work on precious metals.

Each strip fits into any standard jeweler's saw frame in place of a blade, opening up new possibilities for reaching tight, hard-to-access areas that are difficult to work with conventional abrasive tools. Used like a polishing string or cord, the saw frame holds the strip under tension so you can work one-handed while guiding the workpiece with the other. Constructed from tough rayon with silicon carbide abrasives, these strips feature micron grading technology that produces particles of exceptionally uniform size. The result is a consistent finish with no high or low spots across the surface. Strips can be used wet or dry.

Jewelers familiar with traditional polishing string or Mitchell's polishing cord will recognize the technique. The saw frame tensions the strip between its arms so you can work it back and forth across the piece like a string, reaching into pierced openings, between gallery wires, and around settings that conventional sanding sticks cannot access.

Recommended pairing: For the best control on small and intricate work, we recommend using these strips with the Anderson Miniature Sawframes (part #149.753 kit, or #149.750, #149.751, #149.752 sold individually). The smaller frame is easier to maneuver in tight spaces and provides better tension control with two-handed work. The strips work in any standard-size saw frame as well.
