help, what buff polisher do you use ?

[Atwood, Mark]

Whoops...excellent suggestion, I was assuming you were already past that
point.  I wet sand with 1500 grit (used...a fresh sheet will cut pretty
quickly)  until all the gloss is gone...so that it's completely flat.
Then rubbing it out is fairly simple (and you'll know when you're done!
)

	There's only ONE choice in my mine...lol  You need to scan Ebay
and find yourself an old Roto Shoe polishing kit.  NOT the cordless
kind...they don't have the power to rub out paint.  The only plug in
kind work tremendously.    This is NOT the stand up type that you'll
often see, but a hand held polisher.  You can substitute any piece of
cloth on the heads.  It's still a time consuming job, but it becomes
rather effortless...much easier than a drill.

	 

	Also the speed is slow enough not to fog the clear.

	 

	Here's one that's on Ebay now...

		Hi guys,

		I just finish painting my 1st 2m pattern plane. I use to
hand buff or use my only 12v electrical drill (with buffing pad) to do
the job. It takes.. forever..... 
		
		Any suggestions for a better but economic tool? 
		
		Thanks so much 
		
		Mike Shih

Try wet sanding first with 2000 grit paper then polish out, much quicker
but be careful of sharp edges or you will sand through.
