I would love to hear if others have problems buffing and would appreciate suggestions to improve whatever I am doing wrong.
Most every bowl I have made has the best and smoothest feel after sanding and before I start finishing. I am experimenting with a variety of finishes and improving as I go but I usually get in trouble buffing---- especially with tripoli. Seems I get red/gray streaks on the wood which are the devil to remove so I resand. I have cut back on the amount on the wheel but would like to know how long others touch the tripoli to the wheel to charge and how firmly the wheel is pressed to the wood to buff. I feel the wood heat up some. And ? same technique with white diamond?
Thanks,
Jake
