Day 45 Another Polishing Tip

Hey Y’all, I just got back from my mini-vacation, I am back now and ready to pick up where I left off.

Today’s little tip will once again have to do with polishing in those hard to get places. If you have a small Cylinder Bur, I usually use a .7mm Cylinder Bur, (tapered if you can) you can wrap a little piece of Cotton around the tip of it and load it with Tripolii or Rouge and use it on a Foredom to polish in those tight crevices.

So here is how you go about it, first take a small strip of cotton, I like pure cotton as opposed to synthetic cotton. Place your bur into your Foredom and slowly turn the cotton onto the bur. I make it into a “bullet” shape. If there is any excess left on the end, just clip it off. Make sure all of the teeth of the bur are covered so you do not mark your piece.

Next I like to add just a drop or two of Mineral Oil to the cotton and add a little Graystar Compound to the cotton. The mineral oil mixed with the compound will act like a “slurry” and blend and take out scratches and blemishes rather quickly.

You finish it off with Red Rouge, just do not add oil to the cotton.

Have an awesome day and Go Shine!
