White G-10

[DJJ]

I want to use white G-10 on a knife handle. In the past when I've used white or any light colored G-10 or micarta for liner's it alway's seem's to get muddied up when sanding and buffing, if using a dark wood or other dark material next to white.

This one will have carbon fiber hollow pin's(arrow shaft).I've used white and pink buffing compound usually with the same result's.
Is there something better to use when buffing white or other light color?

The finer you sand the material the less likely it is to get muddied up. I sand to 800 or 1000 and then ever so lightly buff with no scratch pink. If you using contrasting material for a bolster mask it off with painters tape to lessen the cross contamination.

Thanks Chuck , I'll give that a try.

I have had the same problem in the past. Especially when using any Carbon Fiber. I was talking with AKS and they say the new White stuff they have is much better and not getting contaminated. I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

AKS is where I got the white a couple weeks ago,I've got the front of the scales buffed out prior to glue up turned out OK
Will get the rest glued up and see how it looks
