Thread: buffing compounds

Im buffing a razor with compounds the compounds seem dried out any way to loosen them up at all..

What kind of compounds are you using?

Try WD40, or plain water.

Dico compound

Grease less, Bars, tube?

using a dremell just to polish but I can't even load the wheels the compound is hard as a rock

i used to use a compound on the metal bands on my duck/goose calls that was hard as a rock .. i used to load the wheel by running the dremell wheel on the compound until i could see it covered the wheel ..

Put the buffing compound in a airtight plastic container with half an inch of water in the bottom. The compound will absorb the water and rehydrate. I've had to do it a couple of times when I've forgotten to put my buffing compound away properly after using it.

Directly in the tubes they came in??? Maybe like a tub a ware container??

Yes. Tube and water into tupperware container. It will rehydrate.

It's actually how I keep mine all year round. It keeps them really soft and supple for the wheels. I never have a problem applying compound or losing a bunch of it on the wall behind the bench.

Hope this helps.
