Been playing around with clear blanks, How does one go about polishing the inside?
Andy, sounds like the best idea yet -- have you found any sources for larger swabs? The ones I saw online looked pretty small dia.
I have used cut down, rounded oral sponge swabs to apply epoxy and paint.
I would add some soapy water to the above method.
I use a gun cleaning cotton ram connectd to a drill. I use the stuff from CSA Scratch Free on the swab.
Has anyone tried this with PR? This has been discussed before, but I don't know if anyone actually has tried it with pr.
You can buy the gun cleaning "inserts" at any WalMart or sporting goods store for about $1 in each size.
Last weekend I bought the only gun-cleaning kit I could find at the Walmart nearest me (THIS ONE)
Is this the type you mean? I used one of the 3 metal rods with a screw-on twist-brush, and 2 grits of auto scratch remover plus the finishing polish.
It made some difference to a PR blank into which I'd drilled a test hole, but didn't get rid of all the scratches.
I'm wondering if you mean something different by "gun cleaning cotton ram"?
Thanks!
I'm a tad late to this party, but I ran across this and thought it might be worth contributing to this discussion. Brian Gray's approach to making demonstrators....
