The UK, Ground Glass and search for Aluminium Oxide Grit
 

Hello,

I have been searching high and low to obtain some aluminium oxide grit within the UK, so that I can start work on my gg . If anyone has any information on where to obtain any, I would appreciate it.

Hello Louis,

Try this link, which should point to a list of ATM (= Amateur Telescope Making) suppliers in the UK:

Mirror grinders use grit ranging from very coarse all the way to cerium oxide and optical rouge, so you should find what you need, in small quantities and at reasonable prices.

Cheers,
