Yeah well I had a senior person tell me sissal on the lower grits. So I wasted $50 or so. I will cut off all the loose strings and use them for a pre shave :-)
I have the compound in two big tupperware bins sitting on the bottom of the basement steps for now on the concrete floor. Steps are in my garage ! I like Euclids taping off chunks idea. I just missed a dorm frig on Freecycle today. One person beat me to it ! Im kind of low on the electricity in the basement anyway so I dont know how plugging a frig in down there will Work and dont think momma is going to like all that in the frig upstairs. My shop is in the basement. It doesnt make sense to me using the sissal wheels on the polishing bars but can I ? At least on the black emory and the next one up is brown tripoloi I think and then green for stainless steel.
