Ray, This is the compound I use. The very last one on this page. http://www.caswelleurope.co.uk/bufwheel.htm Up the page a little, and the loose cotton or the Canton flannel wheels are about the softest buffs you can get This combination imparts a glass like surface finish with no residue left on the part, as can be seen on the base of this little engine. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1492.msg14267#msg14267 I actually bought a special plastic buff wheel that is made from strands of cotton rather than discs, but at this time, I can't remember where I obtained it from.

Thanks muchly for all the help, guys. I'm itching to get into the workshop and get on with it now! I'll be ordering a Canton wheel later today... BTW: That really is a great little engine, Bogs. I watched the video three times! Cheers, :beer: Ray |

Ray, Set up a board outside that you can flood with water and use wet and dry papers. Work your way up from rough grits up to ultra fine then polish. For cutting I used hacksaws. Regards, Gerald. |

I would use these for final polish -with lots of water Soft Touch Pads for Sanding and Polishing by Micro-Mesh Can be purchased from Ebay or from most pen making supplies Takes a bit of time but get a very high gloss Gerhard |
