suggestions for polishing/polishing compounds?
Hello all - I've been working on hand sanding a few blades, but unfortunately even after 2000-grit sandpaper I'm still showing a bit of light scratch lines in some places that dont look so hot. I just read through the article in the wiki, and it mentions using a dremel, polishing wheel, and polishing compounds after the sandpaper, but doesnt go into detail about them. I dont have a dremel or polishing wheel, though I suppose if its absolutely necessary I'll have to get one.
I do have MAAS metal polisher, Simichrome metal polisher, and some wonder-stuff called Micro-Gloss, made by the same people who make Micromesh, an amazing universal polishing compound rated at 1 micron which works on everything, from plastic,horn, wood, to metal. Do I just need to go at it a bunch of times with those polishing compounds, or is there some other kind needed here? What can I do to substitute for not having a Dremel and polishing wheel? I realize I might not be able to get it as perfect as I could with the machine-help, and I'm okay with that for now.
Thanks for your help.
