    Cut the blade into 12" lengths, tape 6 or so of the ends together(I used the liquid rubber-type too), and use the completed device to clean and fluff the buffing wheels after they/it becomes glazed with compound.
    On the other hand, I still have five fingers.

    Addendum to last post:
    The finished tool is called a "rake". Just so ya know.

    They make something similar to comb horses.
    I heard tell at a big sawmill they lost a few blades in the basement when it flooded. Tangled up in a rats nest. no safe way to cut them or untangle. So they poured concrete over them to make pre-tensioned concrete. These were big blades like 1x50 feet double sided for old growth redwood logs.

    I love the finishing standoff idea.....now why didn’t I think of that!
