Thanks. Simple enough if i can keep the w8fe from crunching up the half empty cerial box in the cupbourd now. Ha.

And BTW, Thanks for finding it Roy.

Does anyone know of the link on the cerial box to cut down on mess while loading compounds on wheels? Im not having any luck finding it.

Good point. Thanks. Now I found out the wife is out of Gallon Ziplock bags. And I was just at the store too. Oh well, I go back to work in the morning and shes off so she can buy them. As far as...

Got a container to hold everything in one plastic box. Was wondering if it would make the Greaseless more manageable if the tubes were cut in half. Then put in there own bags. Comments?

Well, I'll go out today and get my plastic tubs for the compound. I was just going to wet a rag and throw it in the bottom of the tub but if it has enough room for a container of water would be...

proper respirator. OK, I had planned on doing this outside in the fresh air but it surely cant hurt.

Got my order in today. With the freezing weather right now I don't think I'll be setting up outside to give it a go. Bummer. Plus this stuff was next to frozen when I got it. I have it sitting in my...

I was thinking about a full face shield but hadnt thought about air mask. Maybe some of those throw away paper things that cover your mouth and nose. I got some for when i go up in the attic.

I thought about it more. I have a 3'x4' wood table top that i use in the yard on saw horses when i need to do work in the yard. I sould be able to clamp the buffer to it on a corner easy enough. I...

Thanks Roy.

Thanks gentlemen. This give me an idea of what is needed. I might have containers already that they will fit in.
Plus, i was thinking of making a stand for the buffer that will fold up. This way i...

BTW, can someone tell me the sizes of these containers of compounds so i can pick up plastic containers to keep them in?

All those colored compounds were in a kit with the wheels. And the price was lower in the kit. So i picked it up too. I had forgot about the 80grit. Damn. I knew there was something. I'll order some...

ok, Here is what I ordered... Ouch, that hurt!
220, 400, 600 Greaseless compounds
Black, Brown, White, Green and Blue standard compounds
Glu-tite
Wheels: 4 spirel sewn, 1 sisal, 2 loose and 2...

great info guys. I'm taking notes. In a plastic bag and a plastic container sounds like what I can do without too much issue. Its not like I plan on doing but a few razors a year but with this RAD,...

In the fridge? I dont know if the wife would go for that in her fridge. I'll just have to seal them up and keep in my shack. Its always warm anyhow.

Thanks for the details Euclid. Im still...

Thanks for that hint. I too am in my right mind. :)
I'll see if this helps me too.

How about the Glu-tite wheel prep? Is this something that is needed? Guess it helps the compound stick to the wheels?

And Caswell has some blue and white polishing bars. Are they worth getting?...

Of course they didn't have any pads/wheels in stock. I'll buy them on line I guess along with the compound. I didn't want to get anything done today anyway! :aargh:

I'll be OK....

So a smaller wheel will bring the SFPM down. And with my math a 2 inch wheel would be 1806 SFPM. Closer to 1700. I'm guessing that the reason you dont use a 2" wheel is it isn't made? Anyway, I'll...

Thanks guys. I'll check the HF down the street. I've been honing for the last 7 hours on 4 different razors. They always look good but just dont feel right on the thumb. And wont cut a whisker....

I looked up SFPM and then checked out the greaseless compound at Caswell. Didn't see anything that said what is recommended as far as SFPM with there compounds. But I'm guessing you all have figured...

Great info here. Thanks guys. I was looking at the small one at HF but I was also thinking that the speed was kind of fast. Guess I was guessing correct. But with some care I bet it will work. Not...

Sense i have a feeling that buffing could get messy, im now thinking a stand made for it out the back door of my garage. I could bolt it down on the bird bath but i bet the wife would throw a fit. It...

My problem is room. I can set up up device on my bench but to have a buffer and a grinder im just out of room. I'll scrap.the dremmal idea i guess. Id rather do this the right way. Now if i could...
