I posted this question on an earlier page but it was hijacked.No problem I got a lot of good information but am still wondering about these polishing compound sticks.
"I picked up an inexpensive "kit" at Harbot Freight.It includes two "bars" of compound.One reddish brown one white and two wheels that mount on a drill chuck.
I was told the brown was tripoli and the white was white diamond.
Are both of these used in conjunction with each other?
I have used the "brown" one and the shine is unbelieveable.
The white one dulls the finish.
Total cost of the kit was $2.50 and I'm sure it is not intended for pen making but then again I figure that Ca glue wasn't invented for pen finishes either.
Can someone give me a few pointers or instructions as to what the compounds are and what they are used for?"
