Re: Polished my TPI
it was rather easy i used a orbital sander first to remove the casting pits then came back with 800 grit by hand then 1500 by hand and then 2000 by hand when finsihed with that i took my buffing wheel held it with my foot and pushed teh trigger with the other foot and held the parts to the buffer while it polished it up grand total about 4 hrs of work the orbital made it alot easier i probably could get it better theres still a few pits that make black dots but for what it is for it looks great. i spent a few hrs yesterday doing the TB too. that is the crown moulding and the patched walls in my home office that you see in the reflection. We are redoing my office.
