Thread: New Idea??? Experimentation....

Gary, looks like the
WALNUT
- 4 tablespoons of blue magic metal polish with 3 tablespoons of powdered red rouge.


- Lyman Tuff Nut Walnut media, and Lyman green (Chromium Oxide?)treated Corn Cob media. I've done two razors at one time with no problem. By using nothing less than 400 grit for minor rust and stain removal, I got a mirror finish on two razors.

- a few ounces of metal polish in walnut

- think of the media this way : Walnut 4K and Corn Cob 8K. One starts the polish and the other mirrors it up.

- Handamerica liquid CRO

- Don't bother trying black beauty as it breaks apart too quickly and it also cuts the hell of your hands,

- Turtle Wax Liquid Rubbing Compound and added a little over half of it to my untreated walnut media.

- walnut loaded with CrO

- gssixgun's process..one of them anyway: Scrape away excess rust off blade, using a small corn razor... Start with 220 grit sandpaper and rough off the worst of the stains and rust, move to 320 grit and continue as normal, cleaning up the blade, then moving to 400 and finaly leaving a smooth clean finish ( this takes 1/2 to 1 hour)
Sunday morning the blade goes in the Treated Walnut tumbler....
Wed night after work, blade comes out of the walnut and I switch it to the Corn Cob...
Sunday morning the blade is finished and I start again...

CORN COB
- for those looking for chromium oxide, www.handamerican.com has liquid chromium for leather strops. This works great with the corn cob! You can also buy the dry powder from him and mix it with Gojo, or something like that



works quite well.
I think I'll go through this thread and post here all the different mixes folk have used in walnut and cob.
ALSO: I'll not be crediting the info I paste into here. I hope that's OK.
I give you ALL high Kudos.
