First and foremost to the best of my knowledge you don't need any glue with the products you have purchased so far.

I wouldn't look at it as 'Overkill' as the reason I ordered the 'sample kit' was because the polishing compounds are supposed to have a 10 year shelf life and I'm a very small operator. I figured that by sampling I could pick and choose which ones would work best for straights. I've found that the Blue worked great on some plastic and celluloid scales that had bolsters but that was with my buffer and not at 1725 rpm.

I don't want to hijack your thread but you'd mentioned about possibly converting to a belt driven machine. If you're interested in seeing my variable speed buffer just click on my 'handle' and check out my latest threads you should find it.

I've played a little with the greaseless but only a little. I was hoping to play more during my vacation but life got in the way. Besides I need to order more 4" spiral wound cotton wheels so that I can dedicate each one to a specific grit of greaseless or polish but again life gets in the way ($$$$$$) No ($$$$$$$) no wheels!

I've told every apprentice that I've ever tried to help that family comes first and that's true here at The Boars Nest!!
