Thread: Chrome oxide powder on balsa

Where do you get your CBN from Euclid? I didn't see it under polishing powders at Kremer Pigments.

There are several old thread about Kremer Pigments complete with the stock numbers if you want the natural pigments.

And what media do you use for CBN? I saw a folk o youtube that recommended kangaroo leather, but i guess there might be other mosre... cost effective?

In retrospect, If I had thought to look there I'd have found the answer to my question as well.

I remembered the mention of CBN pastes and stropping mediums, didn't recall any mention of sources.

CBN, will work with most conventional substrates, but like with Diamonds, the performance will vary. For razor finishing a softer substrate, will polish better, for comfort, in my opinion.

CBN and Diamond works best when the substrate is misted wet, so that rules out leather as the “best” substrate.

I like Pellon because it is a paper/fabric with a weave similar to hand-made paper, but remains flat, holds the CBN or Diamond very well, can take repeated wetting without molding dries in a few minutes, and cost pennies.

But CBN will work with leather, cloth and felt. Each will produce a different result.

A yard of Pellon from any fabric store is 3-4 dollars and will make a bunch of strops.

I need to get myself some of that to experiment 🙄
