contaminated wheel????

[dooright1]

Hey guys....so i got some white diamond compound for use on handles...so i used it once or twice on a buffing wheel. hadnt been used enough where it was loaded and starting to cake on the wheel yet. so i was using black g10 handle material and did the shaping on the grinder then when i went to move to the buffing wheel i was stupid usually i clean it off before i buff this time i didnt i wiped the handle (with my shirt) and took it right to the buffer the wheel instantly turned black (it did buff the handle fine tho) i guess all the excess residue on the black g10 transferred to the wheel. so now my question is is that wheel contaminated should i only use that buff on handles or do you guys think it will be alright to use on polishing a blade i have one blade that i am about to bring to a mirror finish and this knife i swear is jinxed i made sooooo many stupid little mistakes on this one i dont want to have to back step because it got all scratched up on the wheel. has any one done this before??? if i had more wheels i would just use a new one but i dont and dont want to order just a wheel if i dont have to. i am kinda torn on this one on one hand yeh its deffinitly contaminated but on the other that g10 dust is so fine and should be softer than metal so maybe it wont. either way just wondering if anyone has contaminated a wheel with handle matterial before this bad thanks

Got a buff rake?

Yes, you need to rake the buffing wheel and then reapply buffing compound.
