Polished G-10

[chad234]

Can the G-10 scales on the military be polished. The polished G-10 that I have seen feels like micarta and looks way cool. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks and be safe,
Chad

Sure! Work your way through the different grits. I have polished G-10 with great results. Remember to wear a face mask so that you don´t inhale any dust from the G-10. It´s dangerous stuff!

Pelle,
Great to hear that it can be done. What type of abrassive should I use? Wet or dry, do I have to use a respirator or will a paper face mask suffice? Thanks for the help,
Chad

Chad - Pelle is absolutely correct. Wear the best filter you can. You only get one set lungs.
