Most any auto parts store that specializes in paint carries a large assortment

Out of curiosity, where do you source anything finer than 600 in
wet-r-dry? I'm stuck at 0000 steel wool for a gloss breaker when
re-coating finish.
I stopped at the WoodCraft store, near Parkersburg WV, a couple times but
their stock stopped at 320, which both surprised and disappointed me.
So the only thing I came away with was a Kuhn scraper plane, which
turned out to have a sheet of cold roll for a blade, edge gone in one
stroke on straight grained maple. I thought it would make a great final
flattener but haven't stumbled over a good blade for it. Its sole
wasn't flat either, took an hours work on a sheet of 600 stuck to my
surface plate to get it 50% flat, so it still isn't truly flat. I gave
up, its still in the box. I pull it off the shelf occasionally to see if
its improved with age & burnish up an edge, using the shank of a broken
1/4" solid carbide mill I superglued into an 8" x 3/4" dowel for a
handle. Dulls so fast it just slides over the bumps in 2 strokes. Most
useless $90 I ever spent.
