Getting rid of Novus solution

[BackyardSmokin]

Hi All,

I know that these aren't pens, but I am hoping you can help. I turned two pizza cutters. Unfortunately I because I was in a rush, I did not notice that there were chatter issues until I was done.

What would be the best way to get rid of the solution in the photos? I really don't want to put them back on the lathe since the handles are finished. If I have to put it back on the lathe, is there a way to put them in the chuck without damaging them?


Thanks in advanced.

P.S. I have the Oneway Talon chuck that has grippers on the inside.

To remount use a dowel with an OD the same as the ID on the handle. Put it in the chuck and slip the handle over it... A simple "Jam Chuck". If it's a bit loose use a bit of paper towel or wrap the dowel with masking tape for a snug fit..

When you say it is finished, I assume it is only MM and polished. I would take some sand paper and sand it by hand. Then hit the polishing wheel.

Those marks will be tough to get out off the lathe.

Either way if you have buffing wheels you can get the white novus out most likely.

Wipe it with thin CA glue - DONE!
