Ages ago I used this stuff in the making of very thin sections of fossils ... before sticking to microscope slides .. http://www.ceriumoxide.co.uk/ It is a very fine polishing mineral. I have some ... err .. somewhere :doh: Not from the supplier above though. Anyone used it for pistons/bores etc ?? BC --- End quote --- BC Hi, thanks for chiming in, as long as David doesn't mind, I'd long forgotten that compound, not having used it in a few decades. For some of the finest lapping, cigarette ash is among the finest available, as it is the silica drawn up with the water into the tobacco plant and the source of the paper (wood etc.), and as it is drawn up by capillary action, only the finest grains are light enough to end up in the fiber of the plants. It can be put with water or oil, whichever is most convenient, and it leaves a mirror finish if the right steps are used. Having watched the new video, I have to say it is a work of beauty, built the way I enjoy the most: built out of the scrap bin, and using old stuff, which is the single most effective way to save energy through recycling. No cost to alter the scrap and turn it into a refrigerator or something, but used in its original form for a slightly different purpose. In this video, the spokes actually look like large fan blades as the crank spins smoothly and silently. By the way, the pan is most likely very close to pure aluminum, which makes it act sort of like butter sometimes, and a lot like peanut butter at others. Very fine job all around, and looking forward to the final touches. :drool: :nrocks: :jaw: :beer: Cheers, mad jack |
