OPERATION 7
OPERATION BUFFING COMPOUND SELECTION Red Rouge - Made for polishing on brass and gold. Provides an excellent shine when used with the loose muslin buffing wheel. Green (Extra Fine) - Great for extra-fine polishing on most metals to bring out a mirror finish. Works best with loose muslin and spiral sewn buffing wheels. White - Great for ivory, plastics and resins when used successively with the soft spiral sewn and soft airway buffing wheels.
OPERATION Hold the workpiece tightly at all times while buffing. One hand near the contact point will give you better control. Keep buffing wheels raked out before each use and when build-up gets heavy during use. “Raking” means to clean the buffing wheels with a wheel rake to remove build up compounds and metal particles. An old rough-cut saw blade or a large hacksaw blade will also work as an alternative to a wheel rake. ALWAYS use light pressure when raking wheels.
