Polishing pattern welded blades - help needed!
#6
Quote:Cheers matt..

Matt to the rescue once again - I actually have a dolly - just need to get some compounds - I use it for bone work when I can't be bothered to do it all manually with craft files!

USE A DIFFERENT DOLLY!

Firstly, ones that are suitable for polishing horn/bone (the plastic polishing kit I assume?) will be too soft for steel and you'll just end up with a workshop full of mop fluff. You want a stitched white mop and some green compound to shine, followed by a G mop and some blue compound if you want a bright finish.

Secondly, using the same mop with different compounds contaminates the mop and mucks up your work. One mop per compound.

I buy all my stuff from these chaps. Cheap and very quick delivery.
