Re-Finishing

[BobBurt]

I have finished a two piece blank, the finish is outstanding, (I thought) when I looked at it under a magnifier I notice a couple of blemishes. I am going to re-finish it.

question.....Do I just do the one barrel that has the blemishes or do I do both?????

Thanks

I would do just one if it were me. Just make sure you use the same method.

under high enough magnification you can see scratches from 12,000 nicro mesh
if you cannot see it without magnification, i would say that it is perfect.
don't risk putting on a worse finish
just my .02

Magnifying glass?? If you can't see it with your eyes, nobody else will either; unless it some goofy guy running around looking at pens with a magnifying glass.

Polishing a surface is making a pattern of progressively finer scratches on the surface until they disappear to our eyes, and we see a polished surface. Even 12,000 grit, a 2 micron abrasive particle, will leave a scratch pattern if you magnify it enough.
