Buffing Compounds

Polishing stabilized, sanded pen blanks to a high gloss, even after the use of extremely fine abrasives, is possible by first using Tripoli and then using the White Diamond buffing compounds. These compounds contain extremely fine abrasive that are designed to remove any light scratches produced by paper and/or cloth abrasives. The Tripoli bar is priced at $4.50 and the White Diamond is priced at $4.50. Each bar will polish thousand's of pens as very little of this material is needed on your buffing wheels. You will need two separate buffing wheels for the process to work successfully as you do not want to use the same wheel for both compounds.

Micro-Gloss TM Liquid Abrasive

Made by the same company that manufactures Micro-Mesh, Micro-Gloss is formulated to remove, not hide, superficial scratches and light surface damage. A general purpose water-based liquid that uses a 1 micron abrasive crystal. An excellent compound for use on acrylics! Comes in an 8oz bottle with dispenser. $8.95. Click Here to order.

Special note: This compound is meant to be used with a buffing wheel. We strongly recommend that you have one dedicated buffing wheel for Micro-Gloss. You do not want any other buffing compound to come in contact with the wheel used for Micro-Gloss. When not using the dedicated Micro-Gloss buffing wheel store in a plastic zip-lock bag to keep it clean.
