Found a "Buffing Wheel Compound Set", stock no. 9/2896, at Sears. Four bars of buffing compound (Emery Cake, Tripoli, White rouge and Red rouge) for $6.35.
 
Except I don't go to sears.....
The last time I was there I crumpled up their credit card with one hand and dropped it in the managers hand that he really didn't want to extend out towards me.:D:D:D:D
 
I only followed Barb in, because I was too cheap to sit in the car and run the AC. May have paid off this time, though. I hadn't found compound at any of my usual haunts - seems most who use it order it, as the demand is low. I haven't used it yet (only have one buffing drum for the Dremel), but it appears to be good quality. 4 oz. blocks, 4.5"X 1". Their recommended uses on the back are at odds with what I've learned, but then, what do they know? :rolleyes:
 
Yvsa,

I have the same feelings about Sears... the lyin BA*&%#@S... I absolutely won't buy anything there unless I cannot find it ANYWHERE else.

Unfortunately, I do like their tools.... and it is fun to argue the guarentee with them when something does break :)

Wal... will that buffing compound work with say a Foreman (dremel type) tool? My new girlfriend... whom I love... has mentioned that if I'm real good, she'll consider getting me one for Xmas :D We saw a whole kit at the hobby store while getting Pine Box Derby car stuff for the older youngster... It looks like it'll do a whole lot more that a Dremel. The thing is built like a Sherman tank compared to one. If'in I do obtain said Foreman tool, I will offer to become the unofficial HI model maker :D... just send me the specs, and I'll grind out the model!!!

Not "foreman", IIRC - I've said it before, but KEEP THIS GAL!! There should be various size collets which will allow it to use any Dremel bit-burr-drill etc. There are also many commercial kits and bits. For small buffing, there is a felt "drum", which covers more area than the rag buffing wheels. For pin-point polishing, there are compressed felt-tipped buffers, compressed in "tree", "ball" and "cylinder" shapes. That rig is a whole mini-machine shop, and the absolute Cadillac of the lot. I might even manage another tip to SD to see that :D
 
Wow... did I say Foreman??? Subliminal slip I guess... Foreman was an old commander of mine over in Europe.

Yah, what you said :) I know... my knees went weak when I saw the display unit sitting in the glass case... a bright light shone down on it, and it glittered lovingly at me... harp music was heard ever so faintly in the background and a puddle formed from the drool dripping off of my beard... I got lost looking at the various bits in the rack next to the unit... I started to imagine all the neat things that I could make with it...

I think Sheila got the hint :D
