TALON Open Mesh Cloth is a 180 grit, brown, waterproof, reusable, open meshed abrasive cloth made of high grade aluminum oxide, impregnated into a strong screen-type nylon mesh to help produce a tight, leak proof solder joint. It can be used on metal and plastic tubing and pipe. It is made with waterproof phenolic resin adhesive.

TALON Open Mesh Cloth quickly cleans, deoxidizes and polishes solder joints prior to sweat soldering. It is a completely waterproof abrasive cloth and is not affected by most oils and solvents. It will not fill up or become clogged, due to its open mesh design. Both sides of this abrasive cloth can be used, giving it a longer useful life.
