You might want to check with the opticians.
They use it to polish glass and add stuff to pour their own polishing things.

Yes, works well.

Be careful not to fall into the WMD range, hehehe

I see! Thank you Dave!
Now its clearer why the german MSDS speaks about safety precautions.
They dd not mention why, though.

Do you have a source for this message, Dave?

Yes its a good blade! I should polish it with some cerium oxide as well.
I was working on it before that stuff came up.
Its really bringing things forward.

Great to hear! :)

Well the safety data sheet says you have to use it with water and an x amount of a disperging agent. Read soap.
What I do is putting a spoon of Ceroxide on a marble plate, some shaving cream and...

Not on that field,
but I've been playing with compounds a little this week
and cerium oxide does not like fat, wax or oil much.
It solidifies horribly.
I guess you're better off with the soapy...

Ben, the Cerium Oxide Powder?
On strops instead of Chromium Oxide probably.
I'm using it as a paste (with shaving cream) on a damp cloth for cleaning up the entire razor right now. Works well on...

:cry: I've got something to lap :cry:

LOL ;)
Ok, the Solnhofener Limestone is not the hardest, but at the moment I'm really not happy about what the ceroxide did to it.
It not only hi gloss...

Guess you'll like it!
I just honed a Heljestrand wedge - to see it on a wider bevel - and used the powder I have after the Escher on a piece of Solnhofener Limestone (an old experiment that actually...

Pleasure, Jerry!

In the meantime I've looked into some more safety sheets for cerium oxide.
(regulation-crazy Europe, you know....)
It is highly recommended that you take precautions to neither...

I've been playing a bit with the 1 - 2 micron version today.
It is so very fine that I think you would not even need the 0.5 micron.
Feels much finer than CrOx.
Applied on an old leather strop I...

Soap basically?
Particularly non lathering would be sodium stearate powder.

I made a good compound with aluminium oxide and shaving cream.

Sounds like two jars. :D

Keep us posted!:tu

Oh I'd love to as well.

I have cerium oxide powder here, but only a 1 - 2 micron.
Actually I intended to use it for polishing.

Same here. I'm tempted to order some of it.
Friodur special treatment, hehehe
Not bad! :rolleyes:

I wonder what grit size and what mineral it is.
On the woodworkingforums they say ts finer than ChrOx and faster even.
Sounds great.
