Thread: Polishing Compound

It would work, but I am not sure about using a wax base for it, other than beeswax. The lapping dust would work like whatever grit stone you used. Say 12k naniwa stropping compound; you basically use the dust from lapping your stones, strain it through cheese cloth and let it dry then pulvarize it, but slurry after honing will have metal shavings so I would pass on that, unless you meant the slurry from lapping your stone with say your DMT then collecting that run off. It would take alot I would think, but couldn't hurt to try. I would be sure to use distilled water doing it, so you don't get fluoride, and calcium, and lime dried into your slurry powder; not sure if it would hurt honestly, but I wouldn't take a chance since it's pretty cheap/gal for the stuff.
