It is ok for right now but I can take it back apart later & polish it. I have a regular buffer & don't know if it will work with some extra wheels & some greaseless compound but I'm thinking it would work for now until I build me a buffer which is what I would like to do. Roy, cudarunner, sent me his plans quite awhile back. I have then saved in a file. If I remember right, this scale material started out as black but as I got them thinner, they have a transparency to them. You can actually see the blade through them. I used to use Mother's to hand polish new scales but I found that Maas works a lot better & is more glossy even though Mother's does do a good job.
