Hi everyone,
Thanks to all of the wonderful input I received about my
hand-polishing delimma (as well as my liver of sulphur questions), I
am now the proud owner of a black & decker rotary tool with
flex-shaft. Now I am faced with the overwhelming choice of buffs,
discs, etc. made for polishing and I was wondering if anyone can give
me advice to get started. I work with silver for the most part and
would like input as to the various buffs - what type do you recommend
for using with a tripoli compound, with rouge? What other polishing
accessories do you recommend? I want to purchase enough to get me
started experimenting with the basics. Also, what steps do you
normally go through when finishing a piece (i.e. files, papers,
tripoli, rouge or any variations). Having never actually seen anyone
finishing a piece in person (I have seen one or two projects finished
in videos, but these are tailored to indiviual pieces) I am a little
overwhelmed by the choices available. I understand that a lot will be
trial and error, but having a starting part would be exremely helpful.
Your opinions and experience are greatly appreciated!
