When you finish ebonite, does it help to do a coat of lacquer or something else on it for protection? how do you finish ebonite?
There are different opinions on this.
For ME, I figure ebonite is a hard rubber. IF I buff it to a nice gloss, it will stay glossy, with an occasional furniture wax on the part of my customer.
Others will say you should put a protective coat on it--lacquer is one of the favorites.
I believe the most difficult part of making ebonite is getting off all the scratches. To accomplish this, I use white diamond buff wheel and very little pressure. Inspect often!!
