Thread: Greaseless compounds

Hey guys my questions is about greasless compounds and how long does it usually take to dry up so I can use

I'm not sure, but IRC someone mentioned in a video at least 20 minutes.
I always load the wheels after use so they are ready next time I'll use them.

Man I'll have a long day grinding away hahahaha

Don't overload the wheel all in one go and let the wheel continue spinning for a while and it should be OK in a matter of minutes depending on the ambient temperature/humidity - I am usually good to go in 2 to 5 minutes.

Either my buffer has to much rpm going on or it's way to hot because I would have used all the 80 grit

What rpm does your buffer read and what size wheels are you using?

3500 and 6 inch wheel from harbor freight

Is it variable speed? Your spinning twice as fast as you should.

With a 6" wheel your sfpm is a little high, but you should still be able to load compound.
I use 4" wheels with my buffer at 3500, and I'm pretty sure Glen and most others with fast turning buffers do the same.

No sir I sure don't
