Howdy Guys,
Well I got another question.
I am making a handle out of diamondwood. So far I have sanded it with 120, 220 and 350 grits. I sanded with the 350 grit in opposite direction of the 220.But it doesnt seem like the handle is sanded enough to give me a nice scratch free finish when I am done.
Anyway, in order to get a nice finish on the diamondwood, What final grit should I go to.
I have sandpaper all the way up to 1500 grit. Should I go all the way up to 1500 or would I just be wasting my time.
I bought a buffing wheel for my grinder and have a red rouge and a white greasy buffing compound. I dont even know which one is "grittier" then the other. Can you guys take a guess ?
I also have some buffing compounds with a name that starts with the letter Z.I got it to use with my Dremel tool. I think its called Zam ?
I thought I would buff the diamondwood once I had the final sanding done to give me that nice shinny finish. But with what buffing compond is the question too ?
Thanks Jack
