Thanked: 1Vince...
I wasn't trying to pick on your spelling. Sorry if it came off that way. Heck, without a spell checker, I'd really be in bad shape. The one that this thread editor uses works OK most of the time. It's that little symbol up at the top right corner that has the check mark with ABC in the cradle.
More important than any spelling is the tip you provided. I have ordered some of that stuff, myself. I'll just put a bit on my buffer, though. On a much lesser scale, a rotary tool with the chamois wheel attachment might work pretty good with that stuff. Joe has it down, too.

Thanked: 2Polishing Synthetic
Bill, no apoligy is necessary, where did you say that spell check botton was? Just kidding. Anyway, to have you to try one of my ideas is an honor. You have taught me so much through your CD and this website.
Anyway, thats one of the problems I've been having. When you polish synthetic scales using a dremel, you have to be careful not to heat up the scales, then they're shot. You only have to use a very small amount, say a drop from a Q Tip,
and then rub with a polishing cloth.
The scales are so small, 5 or 6 good rubs for each scale and that should do it. This stuff works.
Thanks for trying one of my ideas and don't curse me when your on the work bench rubbing for two hours.
