### Balsa ### Balsa
Because balsa wood is rigid and nearly incompressible, stropping on balsa produces minimal convexity. Micro convexity is still achieved. Because balsa wood is rigid and nearly incompressible, stropping on balsa produces minimal convexity. Micro convexity is still achieved.
### Nanocloth ### Nanocloth
Nanocloth is a soft, flexible material mounted on a hard, flat glass substrate. It's a synthetic polishing cloth sold by Ken Schwartz.
