I have never done intarsia but I thought this product might be useful. https://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Tools_by_Job/Tools_for_Sanding/StewMac_Sharkskin_Abrasive.html?lac_guid=db3d1747-3289-e811-80de-ecb1d775572a&utm_campaign=M1952&utm_medium=email&utm_source=EPA&utm_content=M1952_O_20180718

And, just what are you doing at Stewmac??  Maybe building a guitar??  I knew them well when I was into the cigarbox guitar building hobby.  Great place to deal with.

No Paul, I don't need another addiction.  I buy lacquer pigment from them.

Interesting product, but not sure if I would use it on my Intarsia.

Larry, I watched the video at the bottom of the page and it looked to me like it might be relatable.

I do intarsia all the time and i don't think i would be interested in this. Most of my sanding is done with my flexible drum sander and my power carver. I will also use my sanding mop.

Like Brian I have done a few intarsia projects and it is 99.9% power sanding.  I use a drum sander and a Dremel tool.  The only hand sanding is with 320 or 400 grit as a final sanding before the finish..

I use a drum sander, carving with a Dremel, a lot of cloth backed sand paper and other things as needed.  While an interesting abrasive, as one who does Intarsia I do not have any interest.

Thanks Dave for taking your time to suggest there might be an interest for the intarsia people to see this. So far the response seems to be negative. However others may find this helpful

I don't do intarsia. Yet. But, I can see where this might have its uses for other projects. Thanks Dave.
