Patent ID: 6852021

Claim:
A method of making an implement for use in abrading, which includes the steps of: (a) disposing a porous member for aiding in abrasion adjacent a first surface of a mold; (b) supplying two reactive liquid components into said mold in a manner in which said two reactive liquid components enter onto a second surface of said mold opposing said first surface, where upon a reaction taking place between said two reactive liquid components forms a raw implement of structural foam having an outer exposed dense durable skin and an inner unexposed less dense cellular core, said raw implement of structural foam being bonded to said porous member; (c) removing said raw implement of structural foam from said mold; and (d) cutting said raw implement of structural foam in a manner to provide a finished abrasive implement having a surface portion of said less dense cellular core foam exposed from said cutting to aid in gripping said surface portion by one's hand.
