<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 3720469, member: 36"]In the USA we have those "magic eraser sponge" things too. They're essentially white sponges with a very fine grit on the outside, used to buff surface stains off of tables and counters and the like. I'd think one of those would work too, since it's essentially a flexible very fine sandpaper. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've seen galaith before, but never had it go sour on me. Most American pieces are catalin; it isn't too fond of heat either. They used to make gorgeous catalin-body radios. Not a lot of them survive, because the heat from the radio tubes was known to crack the cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
