Polishing Compound

[p1p]

I have a host of items needing polishing in different metals. However I have run out of "bars of chocolate" to use with my polishing rig.

Does anybody know where I can get a new supply of compound?

Is this the stuff you're after ??

No, he is looking for stick rouge to be used with high speed buffing wheels. I have a distributor in Thailand somewhere, PM me next week and I will dig out their card. They are located in BKK but I think they have a place in Chiang Mai. They have the full range, from high wax chinese junk to the really sweet German made black rouge.

Hah! Brasso! Great stuff, but I think p1p is eluding to "buff sticks" which come in different colours and grades, for ferrous and non-ferrous metal polishing.

North side of the klong on the outside, there is a great machine tool suppliers that has them. In fact he stocks some great quality tools as well, for general machining.

Now as for location....Hummmm...I'll have to do a "Ta22" here. Near Chang Puak Gate on the left had side as you look at one of the small sois. I'll leave out the bit of..."if you want details..PM me" as it won't help.

If I drive by tomorrow, I'll post a slightly more precise location

Stick Rouge - Buffing Sticks - Chocolate. All much the same to me. Yes, it is for use with high speed buffing wheels.

Erasers work fine without the ink too....also...did you know that rice hulls are used as an abrasive too..but it is a rather coarse one from what I understand.

Also, tooth paste is a polish/abrasive and different brands have different degrees of fineness and abrasive content.

Toothpaste is very good, but it doesn't stick to the buffing wheel.

[Ta22]

whahhah let see.. tooth paste is good .

Problem

can't stick to buffer machine ..

Solution

Add super gule to your tooth paste

whahahahahhahahahahhahaha i am sure it will stick VERY well

whahahahahahhahahahahhaha

seriously the soft grey like compund act like a luby agent for the buffer and cos is fine it can polish the suface .

the trick is work from rough grade compound and slowly move to extra fine one ..

to get a good polish usually it take at least 3 compound of different grading .
