Buffing Wheels

[MVPCues]

I'm sure he's talking about using these to wet sand.

Crap...that isn't what I was talking about. 3M makes some flexible rubber rectangular pads that one would put a tri folded piece of sand paper around

You are probably right. At first I thought he was talking abou foam grips that were contoured specifically for sanding round objects.

You are correct. In the sun I can see some scratches(actually looks kind of crappy in this picture), but remember this was 600 and the 16 is designed for 800 and higher. It was a test to see how much sandpaper and time I could save. I doubt more than 1000 will be needed and I can save the 130.00 in polish I have for ferrules.

Started with 1K on this one .
No buffing. Good ole grease elbow.
Southern Poly is ok.

Same question for you, Kim, how long after final spray before using the buffer?. It seems like you guys have some longtime experience with buffing using the dry compounds.

The finish must be fully cured before any sanding or buffing. If the finish is not hard it will not polish to a good shine.

I use a water based urethane and I wait a week before sanding and buffing.
