I don't mean to be a pain in the **** with all the questions, but I got a few more



1) After I put the wheel on for white rouge, my dad said he read at the site I ordered it from to put something to it before you buff whatever your buffing to get loose debree out. So he put a block of metal to it, and all fuzzies started shootin off the wheel, uhh are you suppose to do that?


2) When buffing with rouge, I noticed in some places it got a gunky black residue which was quite hard to get off, was I holding the wheel in one place for too long?


Thanks I was happy with the outcome, just was curious about a few things.

 

1. Yes. I've been taught to do that with a new polishing wheel. I've always used the shaft of my special pipe wrench to "dress" the wheel, but thats on a bench grinder. The special part about my wrecnh is I ground the handle part square and flat. Some frizzies and debrie come off when I dress a new wheel .Your using a power drill right or a bench grinder? I would use a piece of metal in a vice to true it up with if your using a power dirll.

2. Thats just the polishing grease or rouge building up, you can get it off with a rag and some paint thinner or degreaser. Its totaly natural for it to happen. My 6" loose buffing wheels always do that.

 

I just attached the wheel to my dads bench grinder (3490 rpm or something close to that).


So Do I want that black build up? I started to not buff as hard or as long in one place so it wouldnt happen.



Thanks for the help dude

 

The black build up is almost impossible to not get on a part that your doing. One thing that I have learned when that does happen put less grease or rouge on the wheel to help with that occurance. Once your done polishing you can get any off with a rag with degreaser or thinner or using cotton ***** with flour"thats what I do" The flour makes it harder to get fingerprints on the freshly polished parts.

 

Ok will do! Thanks man :hail:

 

No problem, i'm always glad to help.

 

You will get some black build up. Reason is buffing at 3600 RPM builds up a great deal of heat. That black stuff is melted compound. You might try reducing the amount of compound you use. People tend to use too much, especially at first.

The compound also melts into your buffing wheel and bonds the fibers together. The metal doodad you use to separate, dress and clean them is a rake. This also helps on the residue.
