Dear John,
Hi, all of us here at Gateway to Bronze want to thank you and your company World Wide Abrasives for the superior service you are providing us, it\'s a great knowing we can always rely on getting the right product, and getting the shipment on time. The crosspads we get from you are easy to use and stay together longer than other crossroads we have used before. Without the crosspads you deliver to me I wouldn\'t be able to meet my superior quality that I deliver to my clients. If you ever need to refer any of your customers to us regarding instructions about how to use your crosspads please feel free to call.
Thank you,
Roy Swan

Dear John,
I have been a sculptor of the human form for thirty-five years. I work in steel, bronze, aluminum and stainless. I am always on the lookout for new products to make my job a little easier. About five years ago I was introduced to cross pads and patina pads. They are terrific. They give me a great deal of speed and an incredible surface to my sculptures. I am truly thankful that these products have come my way.

At Thumb Butte Bronze we have found that the medium and fine buffpads from World Wide Abrasives are perfect for the final metal prep for the popular transparent skin tone patinas we use on many of our clients artwork. These pads give excellent adhesion and the soft glow through the patina that we find is so desirable on many patinas used today. We recommend them highly.

I am a bronze sculptor and own and operate a bronze casting foundry. I have been in the business for over 20 years and have used all of the abrasives in the industry. John's crosspads, buffing pads and mandrels are the best! The longevity of the pads, quality of surface they produce, and ease of working with John make me one loyal customer! I won't use anyone else! Thank you John!
